Learning to recognize signs of abuse is goal of CFUW meeting Canadian Federation of University WomenGeorgetown presents an eyeopening presentation to raise awareness of the hidden types of abuse on Tuesday, Oct. 5, 7:30 p.m. in the Gallery of the Halton Hills Cultural Centre. Michaela Schwandner of the Halton Violence Prevention Council will speak on "Recognizing Signs of Abuse in your Community". Halton Hills Public Library is a cosponsor of this presentation. Refreshments are served--you are encouraged to bring your own mug. In 2006 in Ontario, 26 women and 12 children were killed by their partners or ex-partners. It is also known that there was usually a family member, friend or neighbour who knew about the abuse but didn't know how to help. The campaign is trying to fill this gap by educating the public about abuse. Schwandner is a clinical co-ordinator at Burlington Counseling and Family Services and has worked for many years in the field of Children's Mental Health, mainly with high-risk teenagers and their families. Also at this meeting, CFUW Georgetown president Maxine Baker will be presenting an Advocacy Award on behalf of the CFUW--National to the Old Seed House Garden in recognition of the success of a community concern that began within a local CFUW club. 27 Independent & Free Press, Thursday, September 30, 2010 "` Home for a Rest` one of the greatest Canadian songs of all time!" - CBC Radio One OCTOBER 14 AT 8PM experience it live! 905.874.2800 | www.rosetheatre.ca #RAIG¬ ,i`Ê iiÀ]Ê ¬,"3¬ ,/34 +ELLY Ì]Ê" ¬,"3¬ ,/34 Ê1Ê7i}ÌÊÃÃÁÊ VÃÊ>`ÊÀiViÛiÊ>ÊvÊÌiÊLiiwÌÃÊvÊ>ÊÃViVi L>Ãi`]Ê `VÌÀvÀÕ>Ìi`Ê >`Ê «ÀÛiÊ Üi}ÌÊ ÃÃÊ «À}À>Ê Ì>̽ÃÊ ÃÊ VÕÃÌâi`ÊvÀÊÞÕÊÌÊiÃÕÀiÊÃ>vi]ÊÀ>«`Ê>`Ê>ÃÌ}ÊÀiÃÕÌð Ê iÌÝÊEÊVi>ÃiÊÞÕÀÊL`ÞÊ VViiÀ>ÌiÊÞÕÀÊÜi}ÌÊÃÃ Þ ViÛiÊÀ>ÊL>>Vi VÀi>ÃiÊÞÕÀÊiÌ>LÃÊ ÞÊÀi>]Ê`iVÕÃÊv` «ÀÛiÊÞÕÀÊi>Ì -/,/Ê/" 9°Ê""Ê9"1,Ê,ÊÊ 0%23/.!,¬(%!,4(9¬7%)'(4¬!.!,93)3 3)3¬ Ê/ÊÊ,¬$%4/8¬¬#,%!.3%ÊÊ * Ê",ÊÊ,¬5¬9/'!¬$6$t .O¬OBLIGATION¬&IRST¬VISIT¬ONLY¬-UST¬BE¬¬YEARS¬OF¬AGE¬OR¬OLDER¬ 1Ê7/Ê"--ÁÊ Ê"Ê",/"7 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÎÇ£Ê"1 / 67Ê," Ê-"1/ÊÊÊÊÊ /i\Êäx°ÇäÓ°ääÇÓÊÊÊÊÊÊ>\ÊÕ}iÀ}iÌÜJÕÜi}ÌÃðV .O¬OBLIGATION¬-UST¬BE¬¬YEARS¬OF¬AGE¬OR¬OLDER¬ ÜÜÜ°LiViÕ>}>°V
