TRAUMA-INFORMED PRACTICE (TIP) FOUNDATIONS IN-PERSON COURSE FOR JUSTICE, PUBLIC SAFETY, AND ANTI-VIOLENCE COMMUNITY SECTORS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA is ONLY open to those currently employed in one of the five designated justice, public safety, and anti-violence community sectors identified as corrections, Crown, lawyers, police, and victim services/anti-violence programs.

This cross-sector in-person TIP Foundations course reinforces the content of the online TIP Foundations course to further develop knowledge, confidence, and skill in working in a "trauma-informed way". It will support learners in recognizing and understanding trauma and its effects on victims/survivors and witnesses and having a clear understanding of how violence and abuse may shape victims/survivors responses; assessing their own practices and processes with a trauma-informed lens; and incorporating trauma-informed learnings to reduce potential re-traumatization experienced by victims/survivors and witnesses participating in the justice system. Understanding of TIP will be deepened through participation in applied learning activities that support justice system partners to operationalize TIP principles and practices in their own work contexts and support cross-sectoral collaboration. Learners will explore tools and resources for taking TIP back to their work environment.
