You are invited to a training series on how to recognize and respond to family violence, from an Indigenous perspective. Led by Carol Couchie and Stephanie George, the workshops are designed as learning circles and reflect the diversity of Indigenous Nations and communities, as well as the power of intergenerational teaching.
