All MacEwan employees are invited to participate in the next round of Sexual Violence Support Guide (SVSG) training, scheduled for Wednesday, November 13 and Thursday, November 14.

Offered by the Office of Sexual Violence Prevention, Education and Response and Wellness and Psychological Services, this nationally recognized program is designed to engage MacEwan employees as partners in addressing sexual violence.

In this training, you will:

  • Develop your understanding of sexual violence as a social and public health issue
  • Learn to respond to disclosures of sexual violence in a trauma-informed manner
  • Gain an applied understanding of MacEwan’s Sexual Violence Policy
  • Learn to make appropriate referrals as part of an effective response to disclosures
  • 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.

To register, please complete the registration form.

If you have any questions or would like more information before registering, please contact Roxanne Runyon, sexual violence prevention & education coordinator at roxanne.runyon@macewan.ca.
