Ending domestic violence requires more than responding after it happens. It requires prevention. By teaching youth to recognize warning signs, understand healthy relationships and know how to respond safely, we can challenge harmful behaviours before they escalate and help create a future where domestic and intimate partner violence are no longer accepted or ignored.

Through Yellow Brick House’s Public Education Program, youth learn about consent, boundaries, healthy relationships and the warning signs of abuse. We also equip community members and organizations with the knowledge to recognize domestic violence, respond safely and connect someone with support.

On November 1, our community will come together for the Break the Silence, Step in My Shoes Walk to support this vital work. Every step helps us reach more youth, families and community members with education that can create safer futures.

📅 Sunday, November 1
🕙 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
📍 St. Andrew’s College, Aurora

Walk with us for prevention, education and lasting change.

Leaving an abusive relationship is only the beginning. Without access to safe, affordable housing, many women are left with few options, and many return to their abusers.

At Yellow Brick House, we provide emergency shelter and transitional and housing support to help women and children find safety and move toward stable, independent living. But shelters cannot solve the housing crisis alone.

We need greater investment in affordable housing, rent supports and long-term housing options that reflect the realities survivors face.

You can help by speaking up about affordable housing in your community, contacting elected representatives, sharing this message and supporting organizations helping survivors rebuild their lives.

Because leaving should lead to lasting safety, not another impossible choice.

Today, on National Seniors Day, we celebrate seniors and recognize the need to protect older adults in our communities from abuse and violence.

Elder abuse can take many forms, including physical, emotional and financial abuse, neglect and isolation. Recognizing the signs, raising awareness and knowing how to respond are essential steps toward prevention.

At Yellow Brick House, our Elder Abuse Prevention Program provides education and resources to help older adults and our communities recognize abuse, understand their rights and access support.

Every older adult deserves to feel safe, respected and valued. Learn more about our Public Education Program at: yellowbrickhouse.org/public-education/

Today, we honour the Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry the lasting impacts of this system.

At least **150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children** attended residential schools in Canada. Many were forcibly separated from their families, languages, cultures and communities. [Parks Canada]

Truth and reconciliation require more than remembrance. They require listening to Indigenous voices, learning the truth of Canada’s history and taking meaningful action against the ongoing impacts of colonialism.

Every Child Matters—today and every day.

09/29/2026

These deaths are preventable, and as a community, we have a responsibility to take action.
Prevention starts with education. By raising awareness, teaching young people about healthy relationships, and helping communities recognize the warning signs of abuse, we can work toward stopping violence before it happens.

💜 This November 1st, walk with us for prevention as we honour the lives lost to violence. Join Yellow Brick House as we raise funds for our Public Education Program and work toward a future free from violence.
