Dr. Daniel Siegel |
 As we continue to discover more about the deeply social nature of the brain, human service professionals are moving towards remarkable new insights into what traditional notions of “mindfulness” mean in the context of human relationships. It is becoming ever clearer that it is the clinician’s own level of awareness and neural integration that is at the heart of the therapeutic process.
Dr. Daniel Siegel will focus on how neuroscience can complement traditional contemplative practices and explore how to enhance deeper levels of integration in ourselves and in those we care for professionally. (learn more)
JIBC Study fosters Understanding of Immigrant Women who Experience Violence in Relationships
Empowerment of Immigrant and Refugee Women Who are Victims of Violence in Their Intimate Relationships
In 2007 The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) released the findings of a research study designed to enhance understanding of the unique experiences of immigrant women who were victims of violence in their intimate relationships. The research assessed what service delivery factors in the health care, social service, and justice systems are uniquely empowering and disempowering to immigrant women who are victims of violence in their relationships.
The study was conducted in partnership with Vancouver and Lower Mainland Multicultural Family Support Services Society, MOSAIC and Elizabeth Fry Society of Prince George and funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Province of BC Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and The Vancouver Foundation.
The study was recently recognized on the UN Secretary-General's database on Violence Against Women.

Report on Photo-Listing as a Method of Adoption Recruitment
In August 2005, The Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) contracted with the Centre for Counselling and Community Safety (CCCS) at the Justice Institute of British Columbia to research the issue of photo-listing in other jurisdictions, develop a survey instrument to solicit stakeholder feedback, conduct focus groups to obtain the feedback and compile the responses into a final report for the Director of Adoption to review and take under advisement.
