Edmonton Violence Prevention Centre

“Every day is a challenge but I believe I am stronger today because of the support & education I have received. This is helping me to progress towards living my life without violence.”

“So, there I was, homeless. I had a limited income, several children, vehicles and a house to maintain and no credit cards or savings to access. Where could I go? I spent two days sleeping in my van at a truck stop. On the third day I knew I had to seek some type of help.”

“I believed that I was the one being mistreated, and I acted like a victim. My deranged way of thinking came to a head when I was sitting in a jail cell. Instead of playing the blame game, I looked inward and started to really think and listen.”
