Team

Meet our Team:

Centre staff include compassionate, skilled Coordinators with years of training and experience supporting individuals and providing education.

Our team has extensive experience in directly supporting survivors of sexualized violence and prevention work. Collectively, it spans a wide range of activities, from community-based case management, research, and policy-making to training, support services, and academic administration. Our staff have graduate degrees in relevant disciplines, such as sociology and social work and have previously worked for community based anti- sexual and gender-based violence organizations. 

We deeply care about our clients and this work. We are committed to applying equity, diversity, inclusion, and trauma-informed practices in all work. Regardless of their role, all members of our team are dedicated to ongoing learning about trauma, sexual and gender-based violence, and how to apply inclusive, anti-colonial and anti-oppressive principles to our work.
