Battered Women's Outreach Program
Pembroke , Ontario
The Bernadette McCann House for Women and Children is a women's shelter that vets curriculum materials related to family violence for two school boards. After reviewing Healthy Relationships and finding it "excellent", Family Violence Worker Annette Kinslow said: "We're finding that this curriculum really came through for the Grade 7s and Grade 8s, and it's really preparing them for what they'll be facing in the high schools." She figures that at least 12 teachers have been using the program, which is signed out on request. "We have eight copies and they're gone; they're always out in the schools."
