who is alisa? Alisa is one child abuse survivor whose name represents the many child and youth victims in our community. Her wish? That all young people in Ridge Meadows receive the best support possible during the worst time of their lives. Before our Centre became a reality, Ridge Meadows children like Alisa --who experienced or witnessed abuse--typically ended up at the police station. Victims and their families had to navigate their way through a maze of disconnected supp...ort services in addition to the nightmare of the abuse itself. They were shuffled around from office to office, from building to building, from police officers and doctors to social workers, counsellors and victim services workers. There had to be a better way.

To deal with issues such as racism and prejudice you will be introduced to the benefits of a reporting tool, walked through how to use one, and how to properly implement a reporting tool in your districts. Using the tools from this training we strive to provide a deeper understanding of how to create a positive experience for all #students at school and online.

What is Restorative Practice? Creating #awareness of online trends related to racism What a Circle Process is and how to implement it in your classroom What is a #reporting tool and why is it important? Guided questions that are important to use when unpacking #crisis within the school What is Community vs Non-Community in relation to racism?
