Programming

As part of Laurier's commitment of working towards the elimination of gendered and sexual violence, we offer programs and workshops to educate the community to better support survivors and respond to gendered and sexual violence. 

Support Groups

Healing in Solidarity

Join us Wednesday afternoons from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on the Waterloo Campus for our survivor-to-survivor peer support group. We hope that this group will be a space to connect, relax and co-exist in solidarity. Brantford peer support group to come soon!

Sexual Violence Response Certificate

Learn how to build safer spaces for individuals impacted by gendered and sexual violence by taking a series of ten virtual workshops to earn the Sexual Violence Response Certificate. The certificate you earn can be added to your Laurier Experience Record.

Workshops and Speaker Series

Our workshops and speaker series for all students provide support and focus on how to build knowledge and skills to respond to disclosures and build solidarity for survivors.

We will be updating our upcoming workshops and speaker series soon.

Online Training

We provide online learning opportunities to increase our collective awareness of sexual violence in order to create a safer, caring and more accountable campus for all.

Bystander Training

Laurier has online bystander training available to all students, staff, and faculty members on MyLearningSpace (available under Self-Registration). This training covers consent, gendered and sexual violence, responding to disclosures, bystander interventions and more. We strongly encourage all members of the campus community to complete this training.

Responding to Disclosures of Sexual Violence on Campus

This training is designed to support members of universities and colleges in Ontario to:

  • Respond supportively and effectively to disclosures of sexual violence.
  • Know where to seek tangible support and resources.
  • Learn about professional and organizational practices and initiatives in education and in Ontario.
  • Examine one’s own attitudes, behaviours and beliefs.
  • Ensure that survivors are treated with respect and dignity, and that they receive the supports needed to recover and change their lives.

Register for the training. This training will provide a certificate once completed.
