Limited Capacity filling up
Edmonton’s Zebra Child Protection Centre, the first Centre of its kind in Canada, enables our community to respond to child abuse with a professional, compassionate and highly integrated program of healing and justice. In both spirit and amenities, Zebra is a child-centred service, from its playroom, children’s art and homemade blankets through its timely support services and its sensitive approach to investigations and the judicial process.
 This presentation will cover the story of the Zebra Centre, the partners involved in child abuse cases, signs of abuse, handling disclosures, and the effects of trauma on a developing child. Participants of this workshop can expect to come away with a better understanding of the field of child advocacy and the process ahead of children and youth who disclose abuse. They can anticipate to have an increased level of awareness regarding the prominence of child abuse in our community and the effects that trauma can have on an individual. Participants will recognize the importance of early intervention and will be able to advocate for continued community support on behalf of children and youth
