Anti-Violence Worker Support
Communities of Practice
The Communities of Practice (CoPs) are forums that are a safe space for those who work in anti-violence or across the sector to share information and resources, to identify and discuss shared concerns and issues, to celebrate successes, ask questions, network, and engage in discussion. Get more information in our Community 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:
