Online Course - Detecting and Responding to Gender-Based Violence for the Oral Health Professional - Ontario Dental Hygienists' Association (ODHA)

In Canada, more than 4 in 10 women have experienced intimate partner violence, and physical injuries often show up in the head, face, mouth, or neck. With this in mind, ODHA and WomanACT have partnered to develop a virtual course: Detecting and Responding to Gender-Based Violence for the Oral Health Professional.

This self-guided course provides dental hygienists with the knowledge to identify behavioural and physical signs of gender-based violence and respond effectively. This learning opportunity is offered at a special rate of $29.00 for ODHA members. All proceeds from the purchase of this course are directed to the charitable organization, Woman Abuse Council of Toronto (WomanACT).

The course includes:

3 – 5 hours of self-paced learning
6 realistic case studies
10 interactive and reflective activities
10+ resources
