Recognizing and understanding family violence is an important part of community safety.
Through The Today Centre's education program, we help community members gain knowledge and skills to better recognize and respond to family violence. Participants are challenged to rethink common family violence myths and stereotypes that make it difficult for people to access services, and learn about local community services to help connect people in need.
Healthy, Unhealthy and Abusive Relationship Workshops are offered to community organizations and groups, post-secondary, adult support groups, and other support organizations.
