Outreach and Education

At Child Witness Centre, we’re passionate about educating, informing, and empowering our community through awareness, prevention, and support services. Through targeted outreach, collaborative partnerships, and evidence-based resources, we aim to foster a safer and more inclusive environment for all.

Our initiatives in this area include:

Core Presentations: We provide presentations to local schools, organizations, community groups, and the broader public about the programs and services we provide and related topics (see below).
Hate Crime Education: These sessions define hate crimes and explore their causes and impacts – while also offering clear guidance on how to identify, report, and respond to incidents. These talks include information on the legal process and available supports for victims as well.
Customized Outreach: Are you looking for a presentation focused on a topic other than our core offering? Our outreach team is happy to connect for a consultation about your learning goals to develop a presentation on a topic of your choice. We’ll work together to ensure the content we deliver meets the needs of your group.

Our core presentation topics include:

Child Witness Centre: Our Programs and Supports
Introduction to the Canadian Criminal Justice System
Canine Assisted Intervention (CAI) and Facility Dogs
Introduction to Erin’s Law
Relationship Red Flags
Safe and Unsafe Secrets
Introduction to Trauma
