Real Talk: Break the Cycle of Violence

People want to help, but aren't sure how. Let's change that.

Keep it REAL is an initiative of Community Initiatives Against Family Violence (CIAFV), which represents various Edmonton and area social agencies and individual stakeholders working together to end family violence. Real Talk workshops offered by Sagesse, are available to anyone interested in learning how to recognize domestic violence, understand its impact, and develop comfort in responding to domestic violence disclosures.

In times of stress and community crisis, it is common for instances of domestic violence to rise. Real Talk is a guide to help us understand and talk about domestic violence. Learning how to talk about domestic violence isn’t fancy or complicated. Real Talk is just a real moment between two people, it isn’t about trying to fix things, it's about empowering change and bringing people together.

Real Talk is about:

Recognizing domestic violence,

Empathizing with the person impacted by the violence,

Asking them what they need, and

Listening without judgment.

Please join us for this online workshop as we learn the words to help prevent family violence.
