At Good Shepherd, we recognize the inherent value of people living with addiction and their right to quality care and services. Good Shepherd is committed to integrating Harm Reduction practices into our programs and to prioritizing the rights, dignity, and choices of those who use substances. By integrating a Harm Reduction framework at Good Shepherd, we can decrease barriers to service and better support some of our community's most marginalized members.

**_ Hospitality_**, as inspired by St. John of God is at the heart of Good Shepherd's mission. This means that we welcome all people with compassion, acceptance and a spirit of generosity; creating opportunities for transformation. Hospitality embodies our **Values**, **Responsibility, Availability, Adaptability, Quality and Dignity.**

**How You Will Make an Impact**

Good Shepherd Women's Services, through its various programs, is seeing increasing numbers of children who have experienced trauma, witnessed or experienced abuse and are living in poverty. The Learning Effective Anti-Violence for Families (LEAF) program is a psycho-educational program designed to support children up to 17 years of age who witness gender-based violence, and to provide individual and family counselling addressing the complexities these children face.

The LEAF facilitator also works with mothers and caregivers, providing insight on the impacts of gender-based violence on children and support with developing healthy, meaningful relationships between caregiver and child. The LEAF program operates two mega-leaf sessions a year in partnership with Mission Services, and one to two smaller sessions as necessary. The LEAF facilitator will also work with colleagues and partners to develop unique programming for children and women within the VAW programs. Our LEAF program often works closely with community stakeholders, including schools, other VAW agencies, child welfare and family court systems. The facilitator collects statistical information for both internal and external reporting requirements.

Communication and coordination with external agencies, including joint public education, program intakes and program delivery.

The rewards of this work include seeing the resiliency within children and families as they recover; seeing how your role fits within the larger social justice work of the department; and, joining a passionate, innovative outreach services team.
