Empowering Women & Supporting Change Using Motivational Interviewing

A two-day workshop will introduce Motivational Interviewing as a method of communication for supporting & empowering women to make changes and improve their overall health and well-being. Women who experience violence in relationships are faced with numerous decisions related to their overall health and safety. These decisions often require some form of change or action to move forward, such as filing a restraining order or reducing or stopping substance use. Given the complexity of women’s lives, such changes can be difficult to make leaving service providers unsure of how to support or help women to move forward.

The Resource Manual For Front-Line Workers

With information, analysis & practical tools, this manual is designed to enhance knowledge and strengthen skills of the women & men who are the first point of contact to comprehensively meet the needs of refugee and immigrant women. From a women-centred lens The Resource Manual situates the work with Refugee and Immigrant women who experience violence within a global analysis and patterns of human migration. It reviews the interconnections of human oppression from colonialism to violence against women to further contextualize interventions and prevention.

A Skill Based Training For Front Line Workers In Settlement, Women’s Immigration And Victim Service Sectors

Based on a resource manual with the same name, women & men participants will be lead through a group process of personal exploration, group exercises that draw on group knowledge while experienced trainers and guest speakers share information, analysis and practical tools to enhance knowledge, strengthen skills and resource front-line workers to comprehensively meet the needs of refugee and immigrant women.
