Community awareness and prevention education
At Alice House, much of our work is in response to instances of intimate partner violence. However, we know that to achieve a society free of violence, we need to increase public awareness and ensure our communities have the information they need to stop abuse before it begins. We deliver early intervention and educational workshops, focusing on creating healthy relationships and recognizing signs of abuse. Alice House facilitates community awareness presentations and training across Nova Scotia on the topics of Intimate Partner Violence, Gender Based Violence, and Respectful Relationships.
