Description:

In recognition of this year's theme, "The Power of Collaboration" the Victim Justice Network (VJN) is co-hosting an educational Global Classroom event that examines the child maltreatment and abuse from both a research and victim/survivor perspective to identify the impacts on children/youth in Canada and the importance of resilience through specific supports and interventions.  Through the review of research and data collected through the COVID-19 pandemic, and the application of evidence-based tools and approaches, we will better understand the impact on victims/survivors and how to support them in the years ahead.
