With the goal of educating police and enhancing their understanding of Engaging Men and Boys in Ending Violence against Women and Girls the RCMP collaborated with Chrysalis House on an exciting learning opportunity.
With a focus on youth engagement, this two day conference provided the attendees with a toolkit binder that has exercises and activities that can be used to engage youth and the community.
There were opportunities to practice the exercises and adapt them to your target audiences. The information tools provided enhanced the attendees’ ability to reduce and prevent gender based violence in the community.
