Did you know 1-in-3 Canadians experience some form of abuse before the age of 18? October is National Child Abuse Prevention Month in Canada and the nine Child and Youth Advocacy Centres (CYACs) across Alberta are coming together to raise awareness of child abuse and the important role communities play in keeping children and youth safe. CYACs are safe places dedicated to providing children, youth and their families with the necessary support and resources they need throughout the disclosure, investigation and judicial process, and along their healing journeys. Year after year, Alberta CYACs see an increase in the number of child abuse cases we support. Last year alone, Luna supported 2,732 children and youth and has served over 13,000 young people and their families since first opening our doors in 2013. But we cannot do this alone. Christ the Redeemer will join in the supporting Alberta's Child and Youth Advocacy Centres on October 24 by encouraging others to wear bleu on October 24. You can help us, too!⁠ LEARN how to recognize signs of child abuse and how to report it so you can be the light for a child in need.⁠ WEAR BLUE on October 24th with your family, friends, class, colleagues, and teammates, and use the hashtag #GoBlueAB to show your support for CYACs across the province (and the children and youth we all serve).⁠ 💙 #GoBlueAB #healthyschoolsctr
