Join the conversation to help stop violence at work
SWITCH BC is updating the Provincial Violence Prevention Curriculum (PVPC) training program. Hearing directly from the people working in healthcare in B.C. will help shape meaningful updates to this vital training program.
If you work in healthcare in B.C., you are invited to register for one of the engagement sessions. You can also complete a short online questionnaire in addition to participating in a session or if a session doesn’t work for your schedule. [Update - all engagement opportunities are now closed.]
Violence can be hard to talk about. Your workplace may provide employer paid mental health supports, such as an Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP) or extended health coverage for sessions with a mental health professional. Contact your managers, union representative, or HR team member, for information or look into the free options below.
