Education

Three-Minute Talks are presented at weekend Masses to provide congregations with a greater awareness of the basic characteristics of abuse.

Deanery Talks allows new pastors to become aware of what the Society offers, educates priests on the signs of abuse, and provides materials for them to aid victims of domestic violence.

High School Workshops educate Grade 10 -12 students on the dynamics of healthy and harmful relationships, power and control, bullying, self-respect and respect towards others.  Dr. Adrienne Castellon, with support from our Education Committee, have developed a set of lessons that can be worked into the BC High School Curriculum Model.  The Education Committee is available to present to classes, or teachers can use our materials and incorporate them into their own lesson plans.

DAS’s lessons can be found here.
