Western creates community of practice for child maltreatment research

Western University’s Centre for Research and Education on Violence Against Women and Children (CREVAWC) has received $3M in funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada. The funds will allow the centre to create a community of practice as a part of its Knowledge Hub. This community will connect agencies and organizations across the country, providing a space for learning. “This project is about bridging connections, building capacity, knowledge sharing and future planning,” said Western CREVAWC Academic Director Katreena Scott. “Ultimately, this helps children live safer and healthier lives.”
