Emergency Motions Course
The Emergency Motions course explores how to support a woman who may need an emergency motion.
Such a motion allows a woman to ask for a temporary family court order to help resolve an urgent crisis, usually related to her or her children’s immediate safety.
The course walks through our comprehensive Emergency Motions Toolkit. It integrates crisis scenarios, guiding checklists and activities to test your learning.
This course is designed for Ontario service providers who support survivors of intimate partner violence.
