The BC Community Response Networks (BC CRN) is a provincial organization working to stop adult abuse and neglect through building Community Response Networks (CRNs) in communities throughout BC. These networks are made up of service providers, agencies and volunteers with a local and/or regional lens and undertake activities together that build a strong and supportive response to adults who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing abuse, neglect or self-neglect. The BC CRN takes the approach that the community, not legislation, keep people safe.
Language of Presentation: English
Speakers: Sherry Baker (BC CRN Executive Director) and Tim Rowe (Northern Interior Regional Mentor) will lead the webinar, sharing more information about the BC CRN and its work in over 112 communities in BC. Participants may also wish to visit the BC CRN website at www.bccrns.ca for information and resources.
