Shelter Pulse Database: Building Capacity for Rural Women’s Shelters Across Canada

This Facebook Live was presented and recorded October 3, 2024.

This Facebook Live explores how the Shelter Pulse Database enhances rural women’s shelters by providing a centralized database of 74 trauma-informed and inclusive policies and procedures. Through a live demonstration of the database, we'll discuss how this tool reduces administrative burdens, fosters collaboration and feedback, and provides shelters with the ability to tailor each policy and procedure in a way that best suits their needs and operations.

Presented by: Mary McGuire, Rural Development Network
