The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO) is pleased to announce the launch of a new and improved version of the online training course entitled Preventing Sexualized Violence at UPEI for Staff & Faculty. All new staff will be required to complete this training as part of their onboarding process.  Human Resources has built this requirement into regular onboarding processes.  

In this course, learners are guided through lessons on sexual violence prevention, covering topics like consent, the role of power, the impacts of trauma, how to interrupt harm when we see it, how to respond to a disclosure of sexual violence in trauma-informed ways, and understanding available services and applicable policies at UPEI.

As we move forward as a community, confirming our ongoing commitment to safety, equity, and inclusion on campus, please remember that SVPRO is here to help and to provide support and training opportunities. You can contact us at sv-pro@upei.ca or 902-620-5090 or by visiting us at 115-118 Kelley Memorial Building.
