Our Board of Trustees recently welcomed Mario Rolle from Scotia Winds of Change to learn more about Engaging African Nova Scotian Men and Boys Around Domestic Violence, a project recently awarded a Community Grant. The goal is to empower men and boys to recognize and address harmful behaviours.
Domestic violence is a pervasive issue in our province, occurring across genders, cultures, and communities. This project aims to fill a gap in prevention initiatives by providing culturally relevant resources and creating safe spaces for meaningful dialogue. Participants are encouraged to become “responsible bystanders” — recognizing harmful situations and intervening appropriately to prevent further harm. More than an educational workshop, this initiative is a call to action to build healthier relationships and stronger communities.
