AGM - Oct 20
Annual Training Forum - Oct 21-23

Every year the BC Society of Transition Houses hosts an Annual Training Forum to gather and inspire anti-violence workers throughout BC. Whether in-person or virtual, the ATF brings people together to share their knowledge, skills and commitment to the work of supporting women, children and youth experiencing violence.

In continuation of the BCSTH Annual Training Forum theme of Strength in Solidarity, this year’s title is Amplifying Our Collective Voices. In these challenging times, when we move beyond individual advocacy and come together to form collective power, we can amplify our message, and demand systemic change. Join us as we gather, listen, and learn, effectively sharing the soapbox amongst the diverse perspectives that define the anti- violence sector. Together, we will foster the curiosity and collaboration needed to inspire new and innovative ways to shelter and support all women, children and youth experiencing, or at risk of violence.
