Do you really know how to keep your children and grandchildren safe from sexual predators? It's not something we like to think about, but it is something we can help prevent. Sadly, it's not as easy as telling young children to scream when someone they don't know approaches them - sexual predators are smart, adult criminals and they have specific techniques that can easily manipulate young children. But all hope is not lost....
Please join us for a free workshop aimed at providing more information on how to keep our communities safe.
Dr. Lyne Piche is a Registered Psychologist who has worked directly with convicted sexual deviants. She would like to share with you the inside knowledge of who these criminals are, how to spot them, how they choose their victims, and some of the sly techniques they use to outwit innocent children. Armed with this new information you will be able to take back control over your loved-ones' well being and keep them safe.
This presentation is for parents and caregivers. It is not suitable for children. Children should not attend. Participants who have a history of sexual abuse may wish to have a support person with them during this presentation.

Any core member will accept them – see your newsletter for a list with contact info. We will also be doing some networking – another great way to meet the ladies. Hope to see you on May 26th, 2009 at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn at noon – 1:30. Please RSVP to Marge McAra mcpro2@shaw.ca or 604-792-9931.
