In partnership with the Centre for Research and Education on Violence against Women and Children at the University of Western Ontario, OCASI invites immigrant-serving organizations to an orientation session on the Neighbours, Friends and Family: Diverse Communities Project.

NFF is a province-wide public education campaign run by the Centre for Research and Education on Violence Against Women and Children, to raise awareness of the signs of woman abuse so that those close to an at-risk woman or an abusive man can help.

Register now for sessions in the GTA.
Sessions will run from 1:00 - 5:00 except in York Region, which will run from 12:30 - 4:30.

OCASI invites managers, directors, volunteers and frontline workers in immigrant-serving agencies register for a session. The objective of the day will be to create awareness of the NFF campaign and to begin exploring whether agencies might find the campaign useful in their own communities. Participants are encouraged to invite members in their community or other service organizations interested in issues related to violence against women who they would like to work with in the future.

If interested but unable to attend, please contact Linda Rosenbaum at lrosenbaum[at]ocasi.org or (416) 322-4950 ext. 354 to discuss other ways to participate in the project.
