Show us how you’ll be shining a (purple) light on adult abuse, neglect, and self-neglect! Every year, local Community Response Networks (CRNs) mark this important day with “purple power”!
Our CRNs have been hard at work all month. Check out the photos and see what they've been up to!

Volunteer of the Month
We're honoured to introduce you to Gabi Townsend, a self-proclaimed adventure seeker and the newest coordinator of the Westshore Community Response Network (CRN).
Starting in this month’s edition, we profile a team member of the provincial BC CRN organization. Why? Because we believe that every person has a great story to share. Plus, we want to introduce some of the people who work at the provincial level to support Community Response Networks (CRNs) that help make our neighbourhoods safe places to be. We kick off our series by introducing you to Sherry Baker, BC CRN’s executive director. Read more.
