Luke’s Place Launches Webinar Series and Community Toolkit
Luke’s Place is excited to announce a three-part webinar series and a new community resource toolkit, developed in partnership with the Region of Durham. This initiative is part of an ongoing community awareness campaign that began in November during Woman Abuse Prevention Month and continued through the 16 Days of Activism and Holiday Giving.
The webinar series covers:
- What IPV looks like – understanding the signs and impact of intimate partner violence.
- Intimate Partner Violence and Family Court – Navigating family court while supporting survivors.
- Being an Ally: Community Resources for Supporting Survivors – Practical ways the community can provide support.
Community Resource Toolkit
This toolkit is for friends, family, and neighbours who want to help someone subjected to intimate partner violence (IPV). You don’t need to be an expert, just someone who cares.
Inside you will find:
- What to do if someone is in danger
- How to listen and support someone safely
- Where to find help for legal issues and safety planning tools
These resources have been created by Luke’s Place and other trusted violence against women (VAW) organizations across Ontario. Use what works best for your situation.
Each resource includes a short description and a direct link. Please note that this list is not exhaustive.
The webinars and Community Resource Toolkit are now available on our website, accessible here.
In January, they will be moved to the Resources section for ongoing access and support.
The tools provide valuable information and guidance to help raise awareness, support survivors, and encourage community action against abuse.
