We held our Annual Training Forum 2025
at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre on September 25 and 26
We welcomed over 320 once again to our Annual Training Forum (ATF)for a great opportunity to learn and build connections over the two days. Our theme this year was Standing Strong:Â Support through Prevention, Intervention and Advocacy.
Our two days together featured keynote speakers, workshops, wellness sessions, and networking opportunities with a focus on gender-based violence prevention, intervention and advocacy. This was an opportunity for frontline workers to develop the knowledge, capacity, and skills that will enhance their work to support and deliver services to survivors of gender-based violence and trauma.
We will hold EVA BC’s 2026 ATF September 24 and 25, 2026 at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre at 1000 Burrard Street in Vancouver. Watch for more information coming in the spring of 2026.
