iVIP
The mission of the Interpersonal Violence Intervention & Prevention Office (iVIP) is to foster a college community that recognizes, reports, and prevents interpersonal violence, especially domestic violence, dating violence, stalking, and sexual assault.
CCRT
The Trocaire College Coordinated Community Response Team (CCRT) is comprised of students, faculty, staff, and community partners. These individuals bring diverse skills and perspectives to CCRT to create culturally-responsive educational programs.
To join the CCRT please contact the iVIP office.
iVIP VIRTUAL ORIENTATION
Interpersonal violence can happen to anyone regardless of their age, race, gender, religious affiliation, or socioeconomic status. The good news is that we can all work together to put an end to interpersonal violence at Trocaire College and in our community. Toward that goal, all students are required to complete the Interpersonal Violence Intervention (iVIP) course found on Moodle. Students who do not complete the course will have a hold placed on their student account that will restrict them from being able to register for courses the subsequent semester.
