Join us for a presentation regarding parent abuse – what it is, who it affects, what are the causes and effects, and what steps can be taken to end it. Learn more about the YWCA’s Standing Our Ground program, a program for women experiencing abuse from their teenagers.

GUEST SPEAKERS: Speakers will include Dr. Barbara Cottrell from Saint Mary’s University and Kimberly Bernard, a facilitator who has been facilitating Standing Our Ground workshops in the HRM.

The Women’s Community Space at the YWCA is your location for programs about, by and for women. This is a space where women can come together to learn, share, and celebrate. See the Women’s Community Space calendar of events online at www.ywcahalifax.com

Programs at the Women’s Community Space are always accessible but please remember that the space is scent free and nut free. A suggested donation amount may be noted for programs that require revenue to be sustainable.
