How CRNs can help you

BC Community Response Networks (BC CRN) is a provincial non-profit dedicated to fostering safe, inclusive communities where vulnerable adults are valued and protected. Through active coordination, advocacy, education, collaboration, and relationship building, we support local Community Response Networks (CRNs) across the province to create awareness and prevention of adult abuse, neglect, and self-neglect.

A CRN is made up of a diverse group of concerned community members who come together to create a coordinated community response to ensure that every adult is respected and free from harm.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is June 15th
