✨ Exciting Training Opportunity! ✨
I’m proud to share that on Thursday, December 4, 2025 (10:00 AM–12:00 PM)Homelessness Services Association of BC(HSABC) will host the webinar “Walking Alongside PWLLE: Staff Support Essentials”.
This is a must-attend for anyone working alongside, employing or supporting People With Lived and Living Experience (PWLLE), or who are PWLLE themselves. You’ll explore trauma-informed care in the context of homelessness, substance use and mental health; deepen skills around peer-led supports; and leave with tools to walk alongside with empathy, trust, and respect.
What makes it special?
• Designed by and for those engaged in peer and harm reduction services — our collective expertise is centred.
• Instructors include
Rachel Plamondon-Assu (We Wai Kai Nation; Senior Manager, Peer & Harm Reduction Services)
Tara Taylor (Executive Director, SpencerCreo Foundation)
Kevin Parker •has been working in harm
reduction for 15 +years of leadership in supportive housing as well as front line supportive employment in the DTES
• Focused on building trusting relationships, recognising lived-experience expertise, and creating empowering support environments.
📣 Who should register?
If you’re in the homelessness, addiction, mental health, harm-reduction sectors — whether in direct service, peer-led roles, leadership or policy/coordination — this will add real value.
And if you–like me–are deeply committed to community-driven transformation, cultural safety and peer leadership frameworks, this aligns beautifully.
