Summary
The status quo in services for older women who are victim-survivors of gender-based violence is unacceptable. The Wildflower Way, a new resource from CNPEA developed with the support of WAGE Canada, aims to support professionals in human services with tools to integrate services for older women who have experienced gender-based violence (GBV) into broader equity efforts through relational, trauma -and violence- informed policy and practice.
The Wildflower Way is both a narrative strategy and a practical guide for nurturing growth, offering a path toward sustainability, healing, and genuine systemic change in human services. This webinar will introduce the guide and tools and how you can adopt them to help transform your practice.
