“Beneath the Iceberg” is a training video which provides a depiction of a portion of a crisis call from an older woman
who is seeking residential service.

This brief training video was created by OAITH to address needs identified by members including:
● Callers who do not use the words violence, abuse, or safety or seem confused
about why they are calling
● Callers facing homelessness/barriers to housing or experiencing long-term
homelessness
● Callers requiring residential service (when the shelter is full)

The goal of this video is to increase the capacity of frontline workers to effectively
respond to GBV survivors utilizing trauma-informed frameworks when providing
phone based crisis-counselling services across VAW shelter agencies in Ontario.
