Join us in person this September 25 and 26 for our
Annual Training Forum 2025 at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre
We look forward to welcoming you once again to our Annual Training Forum (ATF). We hope you are excited to join us at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre at 1000 Burrard Street! We know this will be a great opportunity to learn and build connections over the two days. Our theme this year is Standing Strong: Support through Prevention, Intervention and Advocacy.
Our two days together will feature keynote speakers, workshops, wellness sessions, and networking opportunities with a focus on gender-based violence prevention, intervention and advocacy. This is 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.
