We wanted to take a moment of your time to ask if you would join us in an initiative that we are putting on across our community, the ‘
No Wrong Door
’ campaign. With increases in domestic violence incidences across the globe expected during and post COVID-19, the domestic and sexual violence sectors are exploring how to create opportunities for safe spaces for those impacted and initiatives to allow individuals to connect with supports and services within their communities through formal and informal services.
The “
No Wrong Door
” campaign is aimed at all Albertans with special emphasis on essential services and those who are accessible within communities currently. This initiative would comprise of putting up a simple poster that has phone numbers linking to 24hr local and regionally specific domestic violence supports and services.
Our goal with this campaign is to inform our community that
Odyssey House
is still open during this pandemic, and our services are still available to people if they need it. By sharing our poster and placing it in an accessible location to customers and staff, your organization is collectively sharing very important information about a service that someone may need.
Attached is the poster, we ask you print it out, and place around the workplace in areas you think would be appropriate.
Thank you so much for your time, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Stay Safe
