Description:
This project builds on the existing “See It, Name It, Change It” initiative—a community education campaign originally developed by Lanark County Interval House and Community Support to increase awareness of the warning signs of Intimate Partner Violence and promote safe, informed intervention in rural communities. With support from Lanark County Interval House and Community Support, Ottawa Victim Services has adapted and urbanized the campaign for Ottawa’s diverse, densely populated environment. This project seeks to further adopt this shared program to integrate education about Canada’s new Red Flag laws into the campaign to expand public knowledge, reach high-risk populations, and prevent firearm-related harm before it occurs.
Organization:
Public Safety Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes of this project are to generate shared knowledge and public awareness of Red Flag laws, leading to enhanced service delivery through the consistent and widespread dissemination of clear, accessible information by community partners and frontline agencies.
