Domestic Violence at Work: PSAC Training for Representatives in Northern Saskatchewan (In Person – Saskatoon)

Open to all Northern Saskatchewan Union Representatives

Prerequisites:
Talking Union Basics (TUB)

Eliminating and advocating to end violence against women has been a longstanding priority for PSAC members. Several resolutions on this issue have been adopted throughout the years. At the 2015 PSAC National Triennial Convention, members adopted a resolution to develop a domestic violence education training program. This course is a result of the action of members to bring this issue forward as a workplace and union issue.

If you are willing to take on advocacy and referral for members in the workplace who are experiencing domestic violence, we invite you to apply for this course. Participants will receive information and training on how to deliver short awareness presentations to other members on the topic of domestic violence in the workplace. There will be support worker(s) available throughout the course.

By the end of this workshop participants will be able to:

• explain why domestic violence is a workplace issue and what the union can do to support members who experience domestic violence.
• identify the role and responsibilities of the parties with regards to supporting someone in the workplace who experiences domestic violence.
• recognize the signs, in the workplace, that someone might be experiencing domestic violence and support and refer members who experience domestic violence.
