It was an honour to be w @BCSTH to announce funding of $1.39 Million from @WAGE_FEGC National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence to enhance delivery of the Violence is Preventable Program (VIP) to schools across the province #bcpoli #EndGBV #canpoli
When there's violence at home, it can be deeply harmful for young ppl. We're taking action to reach more kids & youth know support is available & they are not alone. Ensuring kids get support they need when they need it is vital in our work to #EndGBV news.gov.bc.ca/30545
This funding will expand the # of program locations & address critical waitlists. The program is led by PEACE (Prevention Education Advocacy Counselling & Empowerment) Program counsellors. PEACE counsellors also provide support to kids who identify that there is violence at home.
