All MacEwan faculty and staff are invited to participate in the Sexual Violence Support Guide (SVSG) Program’s online training in Winter 2021. Offered by the Office of Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Response and Wellness and Psychological Services, this nationally recognized program offers you the opportunity to:

  • Develop an understanding of sexual violence as a social issue and public health concern
  • Learn to respond to disclosures of sexual violence in an effective and trauma-informed manner
  • Gain an applied understanding of MacEwan’s Sexual Violence Policy
  • Engage with theoretical and practical approaches to sexual violence prevention

After completing training, you can choose to take on the role of a support guide, serving as an information resource to students and colleagues about sexual violence support and education services. Our support guide team is made up of employees from across the university who are working to create a culture of consent and support at MacEwan.
