Trusty, a Canadian Red Cross violence and abuse prevention mascot, has been very busy over the past couple of weeks. First, Trusty visited Iqaluit to supervise a two day Beyond the Hurt workshop to youth at l’École des Trois-Soleils, where he also had the opportunity to ride his first ski-doo!

The following week, Trusty travelled to Atlantic Canada after learning that the very first francophone Prevention Educator training was being held in Fredericton, New Brunswick. This training composed of a group of 14 social workers, vice-principals, and support staff from the francophone school district who are looking to introduce the Beyond the Hurt program to their schools.
