November is Family Violence Prevention Month
Written by Media Writer   
Monday, 03 November 2008
In 1986, concerned residents in Hinton launched a family violence education and prevention campaign. After seeing the passion behind this movement, the Alberta Legislature chose to support family violence prevention as an ongoing provincial initiative, resulting in what is now known as Family Violence Prevention Month. Today, hundreds of Alberta communities and thousands of individuals are actively involved in preventing family violence through education and service provision.
Family violence affects children, adults, spouses, seniors. It can be in ‘good’ homes and ‘bad’ homes. It can be physical, emotional, financial, or psychological. It can affect a family member, your friend, your neighbour, your co-worker. It doesn’t distinguish between race, culture, socio-economic class or gender. It can be stopped.

Need help? Need information? Not sure where to turn too? The Alberta government website has a host of materials and resources at http://www.child.alberta.ca/home/832.cfm.  Locally, call the Family and Community Social Services (FCSS) office at 577-3011. Call the 24-hour Family Violence Info Line toll free at 310-1818. If it’s an emergency, dial 911 and ask for the RCMP.

No one deserves it, earns it or ‘asks’ for it. End the Silence. Stop the Violence.
