The Assaulted Women's and Children's Counsellor/Advocate (Accelerated) program provides students with a feminist, anti-racist analysis of the political and counselling issues related to gender-based violence experienced primarily by self-identified women, children, trans and non-binary survivors. The program provides a foundation for students to be agents for change in their work of community education, political action and law reform. It prepares students to provide anti-oppressive counselling for survivors who have experienced or are experiencing gender-based violence.

This three-semester, accelerated program is suitable for graduates with an existing diploma or degree and/or equivalent work experience who are interested in working as a Counsellor/Advocate for survivors of gender-based violence.
