Gear Up Your Knowledge of Adult Abuse, Neglect & Self-Neglect

Be sure to include BC CRN’s outreach programs on your back-to-school shopping list!

Based on feedback we’ve received to date, we’ve modified and expanded our community program offerings to accommodate in-person and online settings, and different lengths of time.

Our presentations, education sessions, and workshops are always free of charge and we’ll work closely with you to ensure the presentation meets your specific objectives and to ensure a smooth set-up.

It’s Not Right!

Our most popular program, It’s Not Right! will help you understand what adult abuse, neglect, and self-neglect are, the signs of when it might be happening, what you can do to safely and sensitively help, and to whom you can refer.

This program is appropriate for anyone interested in learning more about the topic and what can be done as concerned community citizens.
