Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation

Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation Until all homes are safe... The most tragic aspect of Jessica’s death is that she had a plan to leave her abusive relationship, but had nowhere safe to go.

The Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation (JMMF) was established on January 15, 2012, in response to the tragic death of Jessica Martel, a 26 year old woman who was murdered by her husband in front of their children in Morinville, Alberta. In efforts to prevent such tragedy and to provide support to women and their families in similar situations, the Jessica Martel Memorial Foundation aims to serve v

ictims of domestic violence in Morinville, Sturgeon County and surrounding areas. Although tragedy was the driving force behind the creation of the JMMF, it was established as a result of a perceived need for a safe house within the community. Further exploration has validated this need and has provided additional drive for achieving JMMF's goal of establishing a safe house.

Is your screen draining you?

Screen time can affect sleep, mood, focus, and stress levels. That does not mean screens are bad, but it does mean it is worth paying attention to how they make us feel.

Small changes can help. Turning off notifications, taking breaks, and setting screen-free time before bed can make screen time feel more balanced.

Through Inspire, students have conversations about wellness, healthy habits, and the choices that support their mental and emotional well-being.
