Join STOPS to Violence on Thursday, February 6th, 2025 from 9:30 – 11:00 am for our Saskatchewan Solutions session featuring REAL Talk

Saskatchewan Solutions is a series of live virtual sessions featuring initiatives, tools and resources that focus on building healthy relationships and strong safe communities through violence prevention. 

Lian Tolentino and Trevor Williams with Sagesse Domestic Violence Prevention Society will speak to the importance of engaging informal supports. Sagesse empowers individuals, organizations and communities to disrupt structures of domestic abuse. Informal supports are our friends, families, neighbours and coworkers. They play a crucial role to support those impacted by domestic abuse and through the REAL Talk program, Sagesse seeks to help individuals and communities recognize, empathize, ask and listen. REAL Talk promotes the idea that breaking the cycle of domestic abuse can begin with just a few words.


Join STOPS to Violence on Thursday, March 6, 2025 from 9:30 – 11:00am for our Saskatchewan Solutions session, Trauma & Early Childhood Wellbeing

Lee Hinton from Saskatchewan Prevention Institute, will explore the impact of trauma during early childhood and explore factors that can mitigate this impact in the short and long-term. Early childhood wellbeing is dependent on safe, nurturing environments where children are provided with supportive, loving, and consistent care-giving as well as opportunities to explore, grow and thrive. The Saskatchewan Prevention Institute believes that early childhood wellbeing is a basic human right regardless of race, culture, religion, social-economic background, gender identity, or diversity in family composition. Saskatchewan Prevention Institute resources will be highlighted during the presentation.

Saskatchewan Solutions session featuring Sask Seniors Mechanism

Rod McKendrick with Saskatchewan Seniors Mechanism speaks to social prescribing as a way for physicians and health care workers and others front line supports to connect patients/clients to a range of nonclinical services in the community to help improve the health and well-being of individuals aged 55+ years. Social prescribing can help to address the underlying causes of a patient's/client's health and well-being issues, as opposed to simply treating the symptoms that arise from non-medical issues. Social prescribing promotes integrated community-based support and care and helps to reduce some of the dependence on health service provisions. Social prescribing can be used to refer patients aged 55+ to a variety of activities and services within or near the community in which a person resides.
