Hello and thank you for taking the time to read a little about me! I am so glad to e-meet you!


Having spent over a decade in diverse leadership roles within the non-profit sector, I understand the importance of high-quality, evidence-based, engaging and impactful education and training. I have had the privilege of leading evidence-based, community-centred programs and projects to success through a holistic, integrated approach. My focus has always been on creating and delivering relevant, impactful educational programs, workplace policies and direct services for workers and survivors. From 2016-2023, I founded and co-led a non-profit, funded by WAGE and other provincial bodies, that provided wraparound services to survivors of gender-based violence. This heart work created lasting change and shifted policy in Toronto. During this time, I created the Safer Bars and Artistic Spaces Program, which has to date trained over 100 businesses in hospitality and nightlife and provided workplace policy support, a program I am proud to continue stewarding today. I have two post-secondary degrees, and am currently completing my Master of Social Work. I am a certified community and workplace traumatologist, an Ontario Joint Health and Safety Committee member, and in 2026 will complete my CMHA Psychological Safety certificate. 


Over the last 12 years, I have worked with organizations, businesses, governments, workplaces, unions, educational and health institutions, and the hospitality and arts sectors. My specialty is gender equity and safety, with a focus on gender-based violence prevention and response, and from this foundation, I have been able to grow and deliver unique offerings for workplaces and learners, including:


  • Sexual violence and harassment prevention and response (Ontario workplace specific)
  • Domestic violence, Intimate partner violence, Family violence prevention and response 
  • Workplace environmental scans and policy audits, specifically around anti-harassment violence policies and practices
  • Equity-centred trauma-informed or responsive care (sector specific)
  • Trauma-violence-informed care and assessments (TVIC)
  • Worker wellness
  • Vicarious trauma
  • Trauma-informed neuroinclusion
  • Safeguarding policies and practices
  • 2SLGBTQIA+ inclusive care
  • Risk assessments and safety planning with survivors
  • Immigrant and Newcomer culturally relevant care
  • Psychological and psychosocial safety workplace policies and practices
  • Holistic care and trauma-responsive practices
  • Understanding healing and recovery (for survivors)


I hope to continue working with organizations, communities, and individuals who are seeking support or education to recognize, prevent and respond to gender-based violence, or who are interested in creating workplace safety and equity-baed approaches to trauma care. Starting in September 2026, I will also be eligible to practice psychotherapy as an MSW and look forward to working directly with survivors and diverse workers across Turtle Island.  





Hello! My name is Viktoria Belle (she/they), and I live on the stolen and traditional lands of the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. As an immigrant and settler, I am committed to continuing to build and sustain good relations with Indigenous peoples and communities through active practices that prioritize and empower Indigenous safety, sovereignty and voice. 


All of my services are free to Indigenous grassroots or community organizations. 


I am a Hungarian-Romani woman, who immigrated to Canada as a child and belongs to the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent community, people with disabilities and survivors of gendered violence communities. I am also an artist and musician who loves spending their time with their spouse, animals, friends, books, a good cup of tea and nature. 


The intersections between heteronormativity, colonialism, abelism, racism and gendered violence cannot be separated or ignored. Learning to name gendered violence and uproot it creates cultures of safety and dignity for everyone. These are the spaces we all deserve. These are the seeds we can all sow.
