What are our students saying about the course?

  • Tianna

    An unforgettable and enlightening presentation on intimate partner violence. It is evident throughout the course that Catherine and Julie are passionate about helping people. Their combined experience coupled with their extensive research on the topic of intimate partner violence is what makes this course so great. It was very informative, engaging and they made the content easy to understand. It was truly eye opening. I definitely recommend it!

  • Holly

    I really appreciated how accessible this course was. The explanations were clear and easy to follow, and I especially loved the tree analogy—it made everything click for me in a way I hadn’t considered before. The section on gaslighting was also really insightful. As I was listening, I kept thinking, 'Yep, that makes so much sense.' Julie and Catherine do a great job of breaking everything down with real-world examples, which made it even easier to understand. Highly recommend this course for anyone looking for clarity and support around intimate partner violence.

Instructor(s)

Catherine Sullivan

Registered Social Worker

Therapist, book lover, and your no-nonsense guide to navigating intimate partner violence (IPV). With years in child protection (aka the frontlines of family chaos), she knows the patterns, the red flags, and exactly how to help you break the cycle—without the sugarcoating. When she’s not empowering survivors and calling out toxic relationship tropes, you’ll find her curled up with a book, probably yelling at a protagonist to dump him already. She’s got the expertise, the lived experience, and the zero patience for bad excuses. Whether you need insight, validation, or just someone to confirm that, yes, you deserve better—Catherine’s your girl.

Julie Burnett

Registered Social Worker

The fierce, big-sister-energy therapist you didn’t know you needed. If there’s a place where survivors have needed support—family law, emergency shelters, transitional housing, group therapy—she’s been there, done that, and probably left a glitter trail of empowerment behind. Julie co-facilitates the Stronger Together course with Catherine, bringing her “we got this” vibe and years of experience to help survivors break free and build the life they deserve. She’s all about real talk, solid plans, and making sure you never have to navigate this alone. Buckle up, because with Julie, healing comes with a side of hype and a whole lot of heart. 💖
