The two-year Assaulted Women's and Children's Counsellor/Advocate (AWCCA) (C137) diploma program will provide you 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. It will train you to be an agent for change in the work of community education, political action and law reform and will prepare you to provide anti-oppressive counselling for survivors who have experienced or are experiencing gender-based violence.
Over four semesters, you will study the range of issues that impact and contribute to gender-based violence, such as social justice movements, privilege and oppression, violence in the digital world and more. You will also have the chance to practice your newly learned counselling skills offsite with one of our field placement partners. See 'Your Field Education Options' for details.
Vulnerable Sector Check
Please note that some of our student placement partners require you to have a Vulnerable Sector Check completed before your field placement.
These Vulnerable Sector Checks, which can take up to four months, are done to protect the clientele of these agencies, who are considered “vulnerable persons” under the law.
The fees for the Vulnerable Sector Checks vary and must be paid for by you.
You are responsible for ensuring that the check covers appropriateness for “individuals being employed and/or volunteering who will be working with vulnerable person(s).” If you are unable to provide a clear Vulnerable Sector Check, you may find that your choice of placements is limited.
