Giving Tuesday update: thanks to our generous donors who helped us to raise $2,630 on #GivingTuesday! We are so humbled by your support.


Our annual “I’m the Boss of Me” child sexual abuse prevention program will start it’s 13th season in January! This program is available to Grade Four classrooms in the Saskatoon school district, and is supported by both the Public and Catholic divisions.

Each person walks a different path, but it’s our hope that every survivor of sexual violence has access to our support along the way. Thanks to YOUR help, we can make that happen. 


Words of wisdom from bestselling author and research professor Dr. Brené Brown:
