September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This is a day to honour Survivors and victims of the Residential School System. It is an essential time for those of us working in youth violence prevention to re-commit to our role in reconciliation.

As a charity which receives federal funding, PREVNet acknowledges its duty to enact the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action, in particular Calls 57, 63, and 66.

Every child matters, and together we can work toward a future where children can live free of racism and colonial violence.

New Episode Alert! 📣

Addressing sexual violence requires a “multi-pronged” approach, that includes education for adolescents, teens, and young adults of all genders and sexualities. Flip the Script with EAAA® is a program that focuses specifically on helping self-identifying teen girls and young women to assess when they are being put in an unsafe situation, and ultimately resist attempted assaults. It was originally designed for university students, but with the help of our guest, Dr. Sara Crann, it has been adapted and is now being delivered to teens.

While we’re often taught to fear “stranger danger”, the sad reality is that the majority of people who commit sexual violence are known to their victim - and they are often in a position of trust/power. Flip the Script with EAAA® aims to empower girls and young women with information and strategies that can help them to protect themselves when these situations emerge. In this episode, Dr. Crann walks us through the evidence that shaped this program, and talks us through what it looks like in communities.
