Training and Resource Development Partnerships

Providing high quality training and access to education and information about violence against women is a hallmark of the work we do at Springtide Resources. For the past 33 years, we have been working in partnership with other agencies and organizations to end violence against women.

Springtide Resources is eager to support and partner in this work and in the past has done so in the following ways:

• Design and deliver education workshops
• Develop sector specific training opportunities delivered face to face and on line
• Provide program and policy consultation to regions across Ontario and Canada
• Create and distribute public education materials
• Empower diverse communities by forming and maintaining partnerships
