REAL Talk: Building Confidence to Support Others

Have you ever wondered how to help someone who may be struggling in a difficult relationship, but weren't sure what to say or do?

Join us for REAL Talk, a free, practical and engaging education session that helps people build the confidence and skills to support others who may be experiencing or using violence in their relationships. Grounded in the belief that one supportive conversation can make a difference, REAL Talk offers simple tools that can be used in everyday life.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Recognize signs of harm and abuse

  • Empathize with another person's experience

  • Ask caring questions that open conversation

  • Listen without judgment

REAL Talk is designed for anyone who wants to strengthen their ability to support family members, friends, neighbours, colleagues, and community members.
