The Teamsters Women’s Conference is continuing to provide timely, topic-specific webinars that we hope are helpful to you during this unusual and stressful time. While they do not take the place of our in-person conference, it’s an opportunity to hear from experts in their fields regarding issues that affect all of us.
Topic: Domestic Violence at Work (47 min.)
Presenter: Tara Paterson, National Representative for the Domestic Violence at Work Initiative, Canadian Labour Congress (CLC)
You may have heard people say, “domestic violence is a personal matter”, “it’s none of my business” or “that’s between a husband and wife.” These attitudes further isolate people experiencing domestic violence creating a barrier between the victim and those who may be in a position to provide valuable support and assistance. The workplace can play an important role between people experiencing violence of any kind and assisting individuals to get the necessary help. This webinar offers insight into recognizing victims of violence and outlines ways to assist them.
