Best Practice Development

An essential part of our work is to strengthen skills and best practices in key areas. Recent best practices projects undertaken by the Centre for Counselling and Community Safety (CCCS) include the development of a toolkit for counsellors to use in supporting children whose parents are mentally ill. Working closely with a variety of stakeholders, staff conducted focus groups, researched the current literature, produced a variety of child-centred tools, and created a manual for distribution to social service agencies.

Curriculum Development

Responding to requests from government ministries, community agencies, and private sector organizations, CCCS develops curricula in a number of different content areas. Working closely with employees and employers, we identify the required competencies, develop instructional plans, design curricula, and field-test newly developed materials.

In Her Own Time: Measures of Empowerment for Women
Who Have Experienced Violence Curriculum and Training Video

In 2001, CCCS received funding from the National Crime Prevention Strategy to develop a one-day workshop on the results of the Measures of Empowerment research conducted by Victim Services Division in 2001. The one-day curriculum, which has been delivered six times in various locations in B.C., had the following objectives:

• To share the findings of the Measures of Empowerment Study, in particular the approaches and strategies women who experienced violence found empowering;
  
  
• To examine the meaning of empowerment for women who are victims of violence;
  
  
• To explore empowerment strategies that can be used by victim service workers to support women involved in the justice system; and
  
  
• To encourage a collaborative approach among justice system personnel, victim services and other support systems working with women to facilitate empowerment practices.

A video with the same title has also been developed. The four main empowerment strategies that emerged from the research are illustrated through the stories of four women who sought help from the justice system. The workshop is available for delivery to community organizations and agencies on contract. See Publications and Videos for more information on how to purchase the video and discussion guide.

Post Employment Training

CCCS designs and delivers post-employment training for a number of employers. We provide the core training for the province’s victim service workers on behalf of the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and design and deliver a wide range of child welfare training for employees of the Ministry of Child and Family Development on behalf of the Education Alliance.

Project Management

Our project management activities range from managing high-profile events on a one-time basis to coordinating major training initiatives on an ongoing basis. We have the capacity to manage all of the required tasks, from developing curriculum to evaluating program effectiveness.
