PARTNERSHIPS Welcome to the Social Services & Community Safety Division's September to December cal­ endar. As you read through the calendar, I hope that you will find courses or certificate pro­ grams that meet your current needs for skill development or career enhancement. You will note that we offer courses and certificate programs for a broad range of individuals working in the human services and criminal justice fields at the pre-employment through to experi­ enced practitioner level. Don't forget to check our Web site for upcoming event and course descriptions. As well as the course offerings described in the calendar, I thought you might be interested in some of the other activities and contract course offerings that the Divisions has been under­ taking. These past eight months have been very exciting ones for the Division. In February, we organized a very successful conference called Voices from Each Generation: Reclaiming Wellness in Aboriginal Communities. Over 125 conference participants, many from Aboriginal communities outside the Lower Mainland, attended and provided very positive feedback on the quality and diversity of the workshop offerings. In April, we learned that the Justice Institute had been awarded the provincial organization of the year award by the Ministry of Women's Equality for our division's curriculum develop­ ment and program delivery in the area of prevention of violence against women. The awards luncheon was held on April 28 at the Hotel Vancouver. On May 4, we held the second annual Division graduation. One hundred students representing the 15 certificate programs attended the ceremony. Keynote speaker Joe Solanto gave a very interesting and entertaining presentation on the role of education and training and the people behind the students who support them through the process. Work is underway on the development of a new certificate program in Adventure-Based Learning. The program will be launched in January 2001. Once introduced, it will be the first training program in western Canada to train people in this approach to working with people at risk. As well, we are in discussions with the Victoria School of Art Therapy about the possi­ bility of offering some of the diploma courses to students based in the Lower Mainland. Watch for details of all these initiatives in the January 2001 calendar. Through our contract courses section, we have been able to provide training in a number of areas. Examples include Victim Services Training for the Ministry of Attorney General, and the Child Protection Pre-Employment Program for the Ministry for Children and Families. As well, we have been delivering our Aboriginal Trauma certificate program to a number of communi­ ties around the province. As always, your feedback and input are important to us. Please feel free to contact me or any of the program coordinators by phone or e-mail with your ideas and concerns. We believe in developing partnerships that provide leadership and innovation in justice and public safety education and training.

Ill: .: E v·E Spring Institute Programming Staff Profiles The Applications of Relational Theory with The Stone Centre Our programming staff is one of our key strengths. Each coordinator brings extensive ex­ pertise via experience and education to their own program areas. This, combined with a commitment to providing creative and dynamic courses enables SSCSD to provide leading­ edge training to our students. This calendar, we are pleased to profile our programming staff and look forward to highlighting additional staff in future calendar editions. JudithJordan and Maureen Walker Shelley Rivkin, M.S.W., is responsible for the overall leadership of the division, including the establishment of program priorities, new initiatives, and course standards. She also maintains a curriculum development role in the area of violence against women and is cur­ rently the project director for the child protection pre-employment training program deliv­ ered through the B.C. public post-secondary system. Increasingly research suggests that em­ pathic, empowering relationships are at the core of resilience. Building on the ground-breaking work of Dr. Carol Gilligan and Jean Baker Miller, The Stone Centre has conducted new and innovative research in the area of Relational Theory. During this two-day conference, partici­ pants will examine resilience from a rela­ tional perspective and identify specific strategies for strengthening their clients' resilience throughout the life span. An ex­ ploration of the particular challenges and vulnerabilities for diverse groups of girls and women at critical life stages (e.g., ado­ lescence, motherhood, and midlife) ulti­ mately reveals potential resources for rela­ tional growth and resilience. A growing body of research suggests that relational skills increase effectiveness, crea­ tivity, and employee retention. A one-day post-conference workshop, ··Relational Prac­ tice in Organizations, will explore interdis­ ciplinary dimensions of relational theory and its application to organizational theory and practice.
