Partners in the Production

 

Concrete Theatre is the recipient of special funding from the Alberta Children and Youth Services Prevention of Family Violence and Bullying Community Incentive Fund to support this production of Routes. This funding has made it possible for us to tour with a Family Violence Support Coordinator to assist with the Q&A following each performance. We believe this production will provide a powerful access point for young people to connect with resources through our community partners: 

 

The Support Network
The Support Network provides a safe place for individuals to be heard in times of crisis.  It provides support to individuals feeling depressed, lonely, helpless, hopeless and overwhelmed and who may be struggling with work-related stress, addiction, relationship problems or worrying about someone else.

Support is offered through help lines which are free, anonymous, confidential and available twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.  Support is also available through on-site counseling, suicide bereavement and caregiver support. Training and workshops in crisis intervention and suicide prevention are also available.

The Canadian Red Cross RespectED Program
Education is the key to prevention — of abuse, bullying, violence and sexual exploitation. For 25 years, in communities across Canada, the Canadian Red Cross has been helping to break the cycle of hurt. RespectED: Violence & Abuse Prevention programs promote healthier relationships and safer communities through education and partnerships. Red Cross prevention education aims to stop the hurt before it starts. Our nationally recognized, award-winning programs teach kids and adults how healthy relationships look and feel, how to recognize the signs of abuse, dating violence and harassment, and how to get help. Youth learn skills to help them create healthy relationships. Adults gain knowledge to build safer relationships within their organizations and communities.
