October is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time when Child & Youth Advocacy Centres (CYACs) and communities across Canada raise awareness about child and youth safety, the supports available to children, youth and families, and the important role of CYACs.
The Advocate at our Child and Youth Advocacy Program here at CCS says:
"As a child and youth advocate, I see myself as a trusted helper for young people who have experienced trauma, a guide through a difficult time. I help children and their families understand what to expect when working with police, social workers, and medical professionals. I also connect them with community resources that support healing and recovery."
Jodie brings more than 25 years of experience to her role and continues to collaborate closely with service providers to ensure children, youth, and their families receive seamless, coordinated support throughout their journey toward healing.
