P2P Evaluation Survey
Pathways to Prosperity 2024-2025 Annual Evaluation and Future Planning Survey
Deadline: May 2, 2025
We are interested in finding out how we did in engaging interested parties in the Pathways to Prosperity Partnership in 2024-2025 and are also seeking your input for future planning (e.g., Annual National Conference, Promising Practices themes). In order to do so, we have developed a short survey that we ask all interested parties to complete.
We take your feedback and suggestions seriously and use them to continually improve our activities and products. Your input will help us greatly in designing future activities and products to best meet your needs. This survey will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete. Please take the time to complete it by May 2.

Sharing Settlement and Integration Practices that Work
We are excited to announce that a new video and brief on promising practices in settlement and integration are now available on the P2P website. Funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), P2P’s Promising Practices project highlights promising practices in immigrant settlement and integration with an empirical basis for their effectiveness. This includes video interviews of those who developed and are administering the practices, and briefs that highlight the key aspects of the practices that make them effective and innovative.
Featured Practice
Understanding and Preventing Vicarious Trauma Instructor Toolkit
Organization: Bow Valley College
About the Program: The Understanding and Preventing Vicarious Trauma Instructor Toolkit is an online, self-directed, evidence based resource designed for English language instructors, particularly those working in the settlement sector. Vicarious trauma refers to the negative effects on mental well-being experienced by helping professionals when they are frequently exposed to the traumatic stories and experiences of others. English language instructors often encounter distressing trauma disclosures in their classrooms, making them susceptible to the impacts of vicarious trauma. This toolkit not only supports instructors in delivering trauma-informed language classes but also places a strong emphasis on addressing instructors’ own mental wellness. The interactive toolkit introduces the concepts of vicarious trauma, burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious resilience, and explores how these experiences may arise when teaching learners who have experienced trauma. It offers practical strategies for trauma-informed teaching, tips for maintaining healthy boundaries, and tools to help instructors connect learners with appropriate community supports.
