Anti-Violence Worker Support

Communities of Practice

The Communities of Practice (CoPs) are forums held on virtual platforms that provide anti-violence workers with the opportunity to engage, exchange knowledge, share successes, and get help with challenges.

Get more information in our EVA BC Communities of Practice Q&A.

EVA BC has seven CoPs for programs and coordination initiatives under our provincial umbrella as well as a by-invitation CoP for EVA BC member leaders.
