The Accelerated Assaulted Women's and Children's Counsellor/Advocate (AWCCA) program equips you to offer anti-oppressive support and advocacy for gender-based violence survivors.
This accelerated pathway is designed for those holding a diploma or degree with relevant experience in feminist organizations, offering a fast-track to becoming a counsellor/advocate for survivors.
The AWCCA (Accelerated) (C147) diploma delivers a feminist, anti-racist framework for understanding the political and counselling dimensions of gender-based violence affecting women, children, trans, and non-binary individuals.
Condensed into three semesters from the standard two-year program (C137), this intensive training prepares you to drive social change through community education, activism, and legal advocacy while developing skills to support survivors with trauma-informed, anti-oppressive counselling approaches.
