HSA is pleased to have Vikki Reynolds return to facilitate this one-day workshop on responding to domestic violence by addressing power, justice, solidarity, and safety.

This workshop is an opportunity for those attending to:

  • Learn about the impact of domestic violence on workers and workplaces.
  • Explore ways to work with clients/patients who have been oppressed and harmed.
  • Foster solidarity and activism as central to collective care and community.
  • Share stories of active practice and acts of resistance that inspire hope.

This workshop is open to all HSA members. Participants must be able to attend the entire day, and registration priority is given to those who have not taken an elective workshop in the last three years.
