Evan Hoffman, PhD is a conflict resolution specialist with deep roots in the social services and human support fields. Trained in psychology and crisis intervention, he has spent more than two decades helping individuals and organizations navigate high-stress situations with empathy, clarity, and respect. His early work in personal support and community-based services shaped a career-long commitment to understanding human behaviour and promoting emotional safety in complex environments.

Evan has led and supported initiatives that strengthen communication, trust, and collaboration across sectors—from social service agencies and Indigenous organizations to international institutions such as the UN, the EU, and Global Affairs Canada.

Today, Evan combines his experience as an educator and practitioner to help others build resilient relationships and manage conflict constructively. Whether working with front-line staff, managers, or community leaders, he focuses on developing the skills and confidence people need to respond to conflict with compassion and effectiveness.

As the Executive Director of the Centre for Workplace Health Excellence at Pacific Coast University for Workplace Health Sciences (PCU-WHS), he oversees programs and initiatives that equip professionals to support wellbeing, inclusion, and resilience in workplaces and communities.
