An Invitation to Gather
Escalating Violence in Saskatchewan
|
|
To our colleagues and partners in the work to address violence: |
|
Saskatchewan is reeling from the level of violence that has escalated in communities over the past several days. We continue to stand in support of the people in the James Smith Cree Nation, Weldon and other communities that have been forever changed.
As people who work daily to improve the safety and wellness of Saskatchewan people, there may be many emotions coming forward. A sense of helplessness, anger, grief, futility and concern for how we might ever change the circumstances that contribute to violence in the territories we live in.
We are feeling called to act – and perhaps are unsure what to do or how to move forward as leaders in this work.
|
|
This is an invitation and offering of space to come together in mutual support of each other as we work through these events and toward the pathway forward. This time together will be open for sharing, conversation and care for each other. It will be held online as a sharing circle. This circle is for those who work in violence prevention and human services within community, government or other areas.
Thurs, Sept 8 from 9:00 -10:30 am
