Today the Parkland Crisis Centre hosted a luncheon at the Dauphin Friendship Centre.
They hosted it this month because November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Kari Prawdzik, executive director for the Parkland Crisis Centre, thinks it’s important to raise awareness for this issue because of the high amount of people affected by domestic violence.
Amanda Seeley, the administrative assistant at Parkland Crisis Centre, spoke about the Parkland Crisis Centre and Women's Shelter's services, groups and offered information for women, children, and men who need assistance, resources, or help.
There were two other speakers, Nicole Yunker, with the Committee Advocating for the Removal of Sexual Exploitation, spoke about that committee, and the RCMP representative spoke about the Moose Hide Campaign.
The local crisis number is (204) 638-9484 and the 24-hour toll-free number is 1-877-977-0007.
