Family Violence Project of Waterloo Region: The Family Violence Project of Waterloo Region is a collaborative of agencies that provides wrap-around, seamless services to victims of domestic violence - all from a single location.
That's Not Cool Campaign: In late March organizations throughout Ontario will be promoting the websites www.thatsnotcool.com and www.facebook.com/thatsnotcoolcanada. That’s Not Cool is a public education campaign using digital examples of controlling, pressuring and threatening behaviour to raise awareness about and prevent teen dating abuse. You may find it worthwhile to check out the websites yourself and have a conversation with your own teens. If you have any questions about the campaign or wish to get involved please contact Anthony Piscitelli at apiscitelli@regionofwaterloo.ca
