Happy Halloween from HomeFront! Our staff did a pumpkin carving contest and we had some very fun and unique entries! #halloween #pumpkincarving #yyc

Today we wear purple ribbons to mark the beginning of Family Violence Prevention Month. Family violence can happen to anyone - if you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, reach out for help. The Family Violence Info line is 24/7 at 310-1818. #wheretoturn #GoPurpleAB #yyc

Today is #NationalPhilanthropyDay⁠! We would like to send a tremendous thank you to all of our donors, volunteers and partners who help support our mission to end domestic violence in Calgary. We are stronger together in this journey and so grateful for your continued support.

The cycle of violence helps to explain the pattern of abuse often seen in violent relationships. It also helps people to understand that breaking the cycle of violence is much more complicated than “just leaving” #domesticviolenceawareness #familyviolence #domesticviolence

Resources and supports are available for anyone experiencing domestic abuse. Albertans can: • Check if their partner has an abusive past • Get tips on how to stay safe if they are living in/planning to leave an abusive relationship (1/2)

• Get financial help with costs to leave • Get help to end their rental agreement without penalty • Find emergency shelters and temporary housing These supports and more can be found at alberta.ca/Family Violence (2/2)

January is National Stalking Awareness Month - learn more about what stalking is and what you can do:

Today is #PinkShirtDay - a few of our HomeFront staff and families are wearing pink to stand against bullying. Building healthy relationships is one of the best ways to prevent bullying & create safe environments. #choosekindness #bekind #wearpink #antibullying #yyc #BeKindAB

Through community partnerships with organizations such as HomeFront and a commitment of $78.4 million in 2023-2024 from our Ministry, we are strengthening frontline response, ensuring survivors continue to receive the help they need.

It’s Social Work Week and we want to send a big thank you to social workers for all of their hard work and dedication to improving the lives of Calgarians. Visit calgary.ca/communities/so… to learn more.

Thank you to the Honourable Minister Jeremy Nixon and Deputy Premier Nathan Neudorf for inviting HomeFront to Lethbridge for the announcement of funding through Budget 2023 to strengthen staffing in the family violence, homelessness and disability sectors.
