Using Pop Culture for Positive Change
• Queer Competency Training This ½ day worshop presented by Qmunity provided education for staff supporting survivors of domestic violence, trauma and or abuse. Agency Day Event Focus Event Building Bridges Through Understanding the Village was a powerful, experiential workshop exploring the affects of Residential Schools on First Nations Peoples. The workshop was done from a non-blame/shame perspective and encouraged participants to be part of the healing. At the direct program level, teams are supported to identify training opportunities which meet their unique needs and service setting. A sample of this, taken from our Counselling Services program training schedule from the 2016-2017 year is below: Counselling Services Professional Development Training Summary: 2016-2017 • Introduction to Synergetic Play Therapy: 2 day workshop presented by Lisa Dion (5 staff attended). • Capacity Cafe Training: 1 day (1 staff attended). • Balancing Our Minds Event: Bell Centre: 1 day (1 staff attended). • EMDR Training: Level 1 (2 staff attended this multi-day training). • Somatic Experiencing (Trauma Treatment): Beginning Level (consists of three 4-day live training modules, spaced 2-4 months apart). • Transition of Addiction in the 21st Century: 1 day, 1 staff. • Concurrent Disorders Training: MCFD sponsored: 1 day, 5 staff. • Refugee and Trauma Training: Langley School District Training. • Family Networker Conference: Washington, DC – 4 day conference. • American Association of Suicidology Conference, Chicago, 2 staff attended.
