WORKSHOPS
Safety, Empathy, and De-Escalation Strategies
This workshop provides a trauma-informed, empathy-centered framework that helps organisations navigate interactions with the unhoused community.
What We Need
A conversational workshop series that brings people with lived experience of homelessness together to share their experiences, insights, and visions for effective solutions to homelessness.
Keeping it Human
A community event with a live storyteller with lived experience of homelessness, interactive exercises for the audience to reflect, and opportunities to build relationships with each other and explore the challenges that emerge.
Moving Day: The Film
A grassroots documentary about the community that came together in Victoria's biggest park through the pandemic, and the day that could pull them apart.
This film chronicles the eviction of a homeless encampment in downtown Victoria B.C. With the rise of Covid-19, shelters closed, jobs were lost, and homelessness in Victoria swelled. A community formed as an encampment in the city’s landmark park. As they learn of an ambitious plan to house everyone by March 31, 2021, uncertainty in the park, and in their lives mounts.
WATCH
Video and visual content created by and for the community highlighting stories, initiatives, and individuals on the front lines of homelessness.

“It’s a matter of giving back at the end of the day and building community. No matter where anyone is at a given time in their life, it’s worth reaching out and making a difference for them.”
