Accessing the Training Materials
Power Dynamics and Boundaries: A Sexualized Violence Prevention Workshop for Graduate Students includes this guide for facilitators, an accompanying PowerPoint slide deck: Navigating Power Dynamics and Boundaries [PPTX], and handouts to share with participants: Appendix 1: Handouts.
This facilitator guide provides all the necessary information to facilitate the session successfully. It is divided into three parts:
- Getting Started: This section provides important information on preparing a training session that is safe, respectful, accessible, and welcoming. All facilitators should read this section.
- Additional Information for Facilitators: This section offers several considerations when facilitating this training. You are not expected to read the entire section and should use the information as needed. Facilitators with greater knowledge of facilitation and the topic of sexualized violence might skim it, while others with less experience might want to spend more time reviewing this section.
- Slide-by-Slide Training Guide: This guide complements the PowerPoint slide deck by providing suggested speaking notes and directions for the training. It also summarizes the training objectives for each of the four training sections.
The PowerPoint slides can be formatted to meet your post-secondary institution’s guidelines or slide deck templates. Slides 2, 24, 29, and 31 need customization before you begin the session.
Three handouts are available to download in Appendix 1:
- Supporting Survivors of Sexualized Violence (handout 1)
- Wellness Wheel (handout 2)
- Scenarios and Suggested Responses (handout 3)
You can also format the handouts according to your institution’s guidelines (e.g., colours, fonts, logos). Information in the handouts can be adapted to reflect the needs and concerns of the group you are addressing.
