September 27, 2016 by Elena in Conferences and Presentations

Lana Wells was the Keynote Speaker at the Alberta Northeast Domestic Violence Prevention Annual HEART Conference (Health, Education & Action in Healthy Relationships Team) in Whitecourt, Alberta. Her presentation’s focus there was on learning how to engage men and boys in violence prevention. On the same day, Michael Kaufman, a co-founder of White Ribbon Campaign, spoke about why men commit violence against women; Lana then presented ideas for ways the community can engage men and boys in violence prevention, and included findings from our Fatherhood report.

It is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 and Region 4. We respect the Treaties that were made, we acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and we dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
