The Power of Collaboration: A Collective Forum Victims and Survivors of Crime Week initiative in Red Deer
Red Deer, Alberta (May 27, 2019) – In recognition of the Victims and Survivors of Crime Week, the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre (CACAC), the Red Deer City Victim Service Unit (RDVSU) and the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre (CASASC), will partner together for The Power of Collaboration: A Collective Forum.
Join us on Friday, May 31 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Baymont Inn and Suites (4311 49 Ave. Red Deer, Alta.) for this interactive and enlightening day of discussion.
The purpose of this forum is to bring awareness to the issues facing victims and survivors of crime and the services and laws in places to help them and their families.
The forum will feature a panel discussion featuring leading industry professionals and survivors of crime, a question and answer portion, a keynote speaker and breakout sessions in the afternoon.
The Power of Collaboration will share real-life stories of survivors, alongside insight from Crown prosecutors, RCMP members, therapists and front-line service provides, and offers new perspectives and opportunities for open discussion. Victims and survivors of crime will be empowered and given a voice. Information will be provided about services providers in the region.
In 2011 keynote speaker Bradley Cunningham started a healing circle for men who were sexually abused as children. Being a survivor of child sexual abuse himself, Cunningham feels very strongly about this issue and is committed to raising awareness of this crime within the community.
