The team is committed to projects that involve collaboration with varied community stakeholders and implementation of action-oriented approaches with the goal of contributing to community mobilization efforts in the prevention of sexual violence, as well as practice and policy innovation. Members of the Sexual Violence ResearchTeam contributed to the New Brunswick Sexual Violence Framework and serve on its implementation committee. Violence across the lifespan: Family violence impacts people from the womb to the grave – it discriminates against no one.While young adults are at a higher risk of experiencing intimate partner violence than any other age group, intervention and prevention efforts are necessary at all stages of the lifespan. Awareness-raising and education campaigns should consider the learning styles and specific needs of people of different ages. Workplace: Many of us spend more time at work than in our homes, yet family dynamics have an impact on relationships in the workplace. The inverse is also true – workplaces can be a breeding ground for bullying and harassment that impact employees' physical and emotional wellbeing. Workplaces can be environments in which victims suffer in silence or get the information and support to assist them in making their lives safer and healthier. Employers can access resources for information and training in order to ensure that their work environments support healthy relationships. New Brunswick, along with other provinces in Canada, has amended its Employment Standards Act to include paid and unpaid leave for intimate partner, domestic, and sexual violence.
