We're grateful to partner with the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre to host the Transforming Practices Conference. Important conversations were had, with some of the sessions featuring RDP Faculty and Students.

More than 500 attendees, including teachers, counselors, doctors, therapists, social workers, and other frontline workers from across Alberta gathered on RDP campus to learn and explore emerging practices that support child advocacy and abuse prevention.

"Whether we are addressing child abuse, exploitation, mental health concerns, violence, or family adversity, meaningful change happens when education, healthcare, justice, social services, and community organizations work together. That collaborative approach is at the heart of the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence and the reason this conference exists. Transforming Practices creates space for professionals to share knowledge, challenge assumptions, and strengthen the partnerships that ultimately lead to better outcomes for children, youth, and families." - Mark Jones, CEO of the Central Alberta Child Advocacy Centre and the Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence.
