Leading national violence prevention network PREVNet has been awarded a $550,000, two and a half year contract with the (PHAC) to evaluate how best to educate teachers and teachers-in-training about teen dating violence and healthy relationships.

PREVNet, or the Promoting Relationships and Eliminating Violence Network, was co-founded by Wendy Craig, Head of Psychology at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 and Debra Pepler, York 카지노게임사이트, and includes 130 leading scientists and 62 national youth-serving organizations who are working collectively to stop bullying in Canada.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Students, parents, teachers, school administrators, and community agencies have a shared responsibility to promote positive relationships, prevent dating violence, and create healthy school climates,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Craig. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�With this new funding we will be co-creating resources with educators to help them prepare for these challenging situations so that they are equipped to help students navigate complicated interpersonal issues.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

From March 2018 to March 2020, PHAC funding will support four PREVNet projects designed to build educators카지노 게임 컬렉션� capacity to address dating violence while on the job, as well as in specific cultural settings in provinces across the country. In a 2015 Canadian study, 51 per cent of victims aged 15 to 19 years, and 46 per cent of victims aged 20 to 24 years, were victimized by a current dating partner. These age groups were also more often victimized by former dating partners.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�As part of our first two projects, teachers will be receiving training to enhance their understanding, capacity, competence, and skills to address dating violence and promote healthy relationships,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Craig. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�Through these activities we will also be focused on identifying factors that will lead to successful integration of these strategies into their teaching practices.

Projects three and four will expand upon the training content developed, implemented, and honed in the first two projects, so it can be applied nationally and across cultural contexts.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Project three will aim to co-create recommendations for culturally-appropriate training programs for educators in Indigenous communities, particularly in the Canadian North,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says Dr. Craig. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�From there, the fourth project will involve creating free, evidence-based resources to assist educators, and to disseminate them through a national social media campaign.카지노 게임 컬렉션�

All four projects will cover critical subject areas, including: risk factors for gender-based violence in adolescent relationships; mental health; communication; conflict resolution; personal and interpersonal boundaries; victim blaming attitudes; the role of media and social norms; dominance, power, and privilege; the role of peers and of media; and more.

카지노 게임 컬렉션�Under the leadership of Dr. Craig and her co-director Dr. Pepler, PREVNet has implemented innovative and effective initiatives designed to make our communities and schools safe, happy, and healthy spaces for our children to grow and flourish,카지노 게임 컬렉션� says John Fisher, Interim Vice-Principal (Research), Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트. 카지노 게임 컬렉션�On behalf of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s I want to congratulate her and her team on securing new funding from the PHAC that will help the network continue this truly invaluable work.카지노 게임 컬렉션�
