When Violence Becomes Entertaining: Recapturing Childhood and Adolescence from the Toxic Influence of Media
October 20 – 21, 2011
We are all bombarded by media at home, at school, at work, in the car… Media is pervasive and a team approach is clearly the best strategy to help young people be critical of what they see and hear and help them make choices which are appropriate.
When Violence Becomes Entertaining is a forum that provides an opportunity for teachers to be joined by parents, trustees, administrators, support staff, psychologists, social workers, guidance counsellors and others with a particular interest in the impact of violent media on children and adolescents. The conference is hosted by major provincial networks of trustees, educators, parents and students.
Exposure to violence in media, including television, movies, music, and video games, represents a significant risk to the health of children and adolescents. Extensive research evidence indicates that media violence can contribute to aggressive behavior, desensitization to violence, nightmares, and fear of being harmed. 1
Leading experts in the field will discuss current issues and strategies in the area of media violence. Dr. Charles Tator and Roy Macgregor will participate on a panel discussion on the promotion of violence in sports. Dr. Craig Anderson, a Leading US researcher will outline the impact media violence has on youth. S/Sgt. Robyn MacEachern from the OPP will outline emerging trends in cyber bullying and texting and its impacts for parents and youth. A live interactive theatre performance and small group workshops will also help develop positive and practical solutions.

Domestic Violence Risk Assessment and Management in the Workplace: Addressing New Requirements of Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act (Bill 168)
June 13, 14, 2011
George Brown College, Toronto, Ontario
Ontario’s new legislation expects employers and employees to consider domestic violence as a workplace safety issue. This workshop focuses on this legislation, Bill 168, which amends the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) to address issues of workplace harassment and violence.
Section 32.0.4 of the Act states that if an employer is aware or ought to be aware that domestic violence likely to expose a worker to physical injury may occur in the workplace, the employer must take every reasonable precaution to protect the worker.
This workshop will be relevant for human resource administrators, private sector employers, public sector employees, local, provincial and municipal government representatives, and law enforcement.

Dr. Nabwian Abou-Basha has conducted a thorough study on the extent to which Canadian Muslim women are subject to violence in Canadian society. The Study has examined the sources of this violence, and the social and cultural factors emitted through migrant diverse cultures and through the Quran and the Sunna (the examples and practices of the prophet Mohammed peace be upon him). The Study hypothesis: “the violence Muslim women are subjected to is one of the key factors behind their lack of integration in Canadian society”. The study focuses on the major factors in situations of violence:

This is 5th in the series of annual February information sessions, organized by London District

Reducing the Risk of Lethal Violence
Collaboration in Threat Assessment & Risk Management: From Theory to Practice
February 7-9, 2010, Hamilton, Ontario
Purpose:
“An effective response to domestic violence requires not only well-informed individual interventions, but also coordination of services by different professionals involved with family members.”1
“Threat assessment and risk management can be better achieved when different individuals who intersect with clients at separate points are able to put risk factors together to form a complete picture.”2
Case reviews by the Domestic Violence Death Review Committee consistently show that cross-sectoral collaboration can increase the effectiveness of responses to high risk situations. Other research on intervention strategies has validated that threat assessment and risk management is most successful when professionals within the justice system and community services who interact with clients at distinct times and in distinct settings work together.3
In Ontario we have begun to establish teams focused on providing an appropriate response to high-risk cases of spousal violence. They are involved in developing comprehensive safety plans and risk management strategies with the parties involved, ensuring appropriate monitoring and an ongoing evaluation of the level of risk.
This conference is an opportunity for partners from the justice sector and from community-based services to come together to discuss the challenges and benefits of cross-sectoral collaboration and to build stronger relationships. Strong working relationships provide the foundation for collaboration, thereby increasing the effectiveness of our responses to high risk cases of woman abuse/domestic violence.
