The BC Society of Transition Houses is currently developing the Feminist Management Training Series. There will be a set of five workshops in the series, which folks can take in any order. The first workshop – Feminist Leadership – explores leadership, power and relationships in the Women’s Transition Housing and Supports Program (WTHSP) context through an intersectional feminist lens. Designed specifically for emerging and developing leaders in the WTHSP sector; this workshop is for frontline staff interested in transitioning to management, senior support workers, coordinators, managers, directors, and executive directors, and includes all genders.

Women who have experienced violence and who have mental health and substance use issues often face restricted access to transition and second stage houses and safe homes. As a result, those who are most vulnerable are at increased risk of homelessness and further violence. This in-person training focuses on considering ways to lower and reduce these barriers and is offered 7 times a year across BC.
For more information, please see the Reducing Barriers FAQ sheet.
