Services
I help nonprofits, schools, and community organizations turn ideas into programs that actually work, whether that's building an online course from the ground up, designing a training that builds real skills and confidence, or working through the details of a new program or policy.
My approach is grounded in years of frontline experience in gender based violence response and prevention, so everything I create is practical, trauma-informed, and built to fit your community. Below you'll find my three core services: Instructional Design, Consulting, and Training.

Training
Intimate Partner Violence Response and Prevention
Intimate partner violence workshops can be tailored to audience. Workshops through neighbours friends and families program are free to the public and I'd be happy to help set one up.
If you require virtual workshops or staff training sessions, please reach out. You can find information about the Neighbours Friends and Families Program Here
Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Workshops are interactive and empowering learning experiences designed to build awareness, confidence, and practical skills for addressing IPV. Available both in-person and online, sessions equip participants with the knowledge and tools needed to identify signs of abuse, respond safely and compassionately, and connect individuals with appropriate support and referral resources.
Our approach blends education, real-world examples, and guided discussion and activities to build both confidence and competence when addressing IPV in personal or professional settings.
In Person and Virtual Training
Shannon really transformed my understanding of IPV, I know the signs of violence now and understand why it's so hard for women to leave. Very insightful.

I took an antiracism and allyship training Shannon led in 2022, I still remember and use some of what was shared in my practice today.
