Education and Training
Red River College Polytechnic is committed to preventing sexual violence, harassment and discrimination and to creating a safe and inclusive working, learning and living environment for everyone.
We take a proactive approach to preventing all forms of sexual violence, harassment and discrimination through collective education and training opportunities for all students, staff and faculty members within the College community.
Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) – Employee Specific
Critical Incident Stress Management, or CISM, is an intervention protocol developed specifically for dealing with traumatic events. It is a formal, highly structured and professionally recognized process for helping those involved in a critical incident to share their experiences, vent emotions, learn about stress reactions and symptoms and be given referral for further help if required.
It is not psychotherapy.
It is a confidential, voluntary and educative process, sometimes called ‘psychological first aid’.
The College has a number of key staff members who are trained in Critical Incident Stress Management.
If you have any questions about CISM training, please contact the Organizational Development team.
Respectful College Course
RRC Polytech has developed a course called Respectful College to support our commitment to a safe and inclusive working and learning environment where everyone is entitled to be free from bullying, harassment, discrimination, and sexual violence.
The Respectful College course is available to all students and takes about two hours to complete. Students who complete the full training, including learning activities, will be eligible to print a Certificate of Completion.
RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.
We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
