Public Education
Toolkits & Workshops
One of NEVR’s ongoing projects is educating the public on how to recognize and respond to abuse. We do this by creating toolkits and facilitating workshops.
To date, we have created seven toolkits available to the public for free. These are continuously updated.
- Violence Intervention Program
- Early Years Toolkit
- Healthy Relationship Pre-Teen Toolkit
- Healthy Relationships Young Adult Toolkit
- Violence Screening Toolkit for Health Care Providers
- Men Who Suffer Abuse Toolkit
- Addressing Relationship Violence Experienced by International Students
Our workshops are held throughout the year. Visit our events page to see when the next workshop is.

IMPACTS OF ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES (ACES) ON ADULTHOOD
Discover the Long-Term Impact of Childhood Adversity
How do Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) shape our adult health, relationships, and well-being? This knowledge synthesis draws on recent research to uncover the lasting effects of ACEs, from chronic illness and mental health challenges to social and economic struggles in adulthood.
With a focus on immigrant and refugee families, the report highlights both risks and protective factors, and underscores the urgent need for trauma-informed, culturally grounded interventions.
A must-read for service providers, policymakers, and community advocates working to break cycles of trauma.

AVA
BC System Map
Alliance Against Violence and Adversity (AVA) is a national initiative formed to enhance training and research to address violence against women, girls, gender-diverse people.
As a member of AVA, NEVR’s goal is to help highlight what is happening within BC in relation to the gender-based violence plan. We are adding to this work by creating a system map of what our members are doing to prevent and address relationship violence.
By sharing our toolkits and creating system evaluation measures, we can assess if the system as a whole is moving in the right direction.
