“A Stain on Our Game: The Life and Destructive Legacy of Graham James” is a painful chronicle of destruction left by convicted sex offender Graham James.

Protecting children is a community responsibility & we all need to find a voice and take action.

Today we honour and remember all those who have served, and those who continue to serve, our country.

[Snowflake Place for Children & Youth @snowflakeplace]

Children often disclose abuse to one another.  Talk to your child about what to do if a friend confides in them.

[Snowflake Place for Children & Youth @snowflakeplace]

The impacts and effects of child abuse can be long-standing and vary widely. It’s important to know that trauma symptoms are not always immediately present. They often emerge when a child begins to feel safe.

[Snowflake Place for Children & Youth @snowflakeplace]

Meet our new Case Navigators, Emily and Stephanie. They provide assistance & support to children & families in navigating the multiple systems involved in responding to child abuse. Providing a consistent & comprehensive network of support helps reduce trauma & improves outcomes.

[Snowflake Place for Children & Youth @snowflakeplace]

Develop a safety plan so that your child knows what to do if someone makes them uncomfortable or if abuse happens –where they can go, who they can tell.

[Snowflake Place for Children & Youth @snowflakeplace]

Community plays a vital role in the response to child abuse. We are grateful to Jenna Rae Cakes, @KingsHeadWpg, @kalshea, and @weareforesters for being a part of our community of support over recent months.

[Snowflake Place for Children & Youth @snowflakeplace]

Understanding child sexual abuse and teaching children about personal safety are both important steps to help reduce the risk of sexual abuse. Learn more with this resource from the Canadian Centre for Child Protection: https://t.co/Bt4qvIFLRA

Child abuse is hard to talk about; it’s uncomfortable and difficult to imagine. But the reality is it happens in all communities and its effects can be lifelong and far reaching.

Increased awareness about child abuse prevention and intervention helps keep children safe.
