The Feed-In, Feed-Back, Feed-Forward project aims to strengthen organizational capacity through planning and the development and facilitation of trainings to enhance the skillset across the WomenatthecentrE community. As a result, WomenatthecentrE and the wider community will be fully equipped to address the long-term impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on survivors across Canada.

This project aims to strengthen organizational capacity through planning and the development and facilitation of trainings using a “train-the-trainer” approach, which will enhance the skillset across all staff, students, and volunteers, as well as external community partners and service providers. As a result, WomenatthecentrE and the wider community will be fully equipped to address the long-term impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on survivors across Canada. This includes effectively addressing the escalating frequency and severity of gender-based violence (GBV) and ultimately providing better care to more survivors.
