To achieve its objectives, the RISE Project is collaborating with eight national healthcare and social service organizations representing the interests of trainee and practicing social workers and physicians (see the list of organizations and their representatives below). These organizations have committed to supporting recruitment efforts for the duration of the RISE Project, as well as identifying and supporting the creation of tools and materials that support social work and physician education related to family violence. The RISE Project team is grateful for their collaboration and their commitment to supporting their members to improve their knowledge, attitudes, skills, and behaviours related to safely recognizing and responding to family violence.
