On hold BE STRONG
Building Encouraging Supportive Trusting Relationships On Neutral Ground

Picture
BE STRONG is our child and youth project generously funded by The Ontario Trillium Foundation.

We work in every single school and youth centre in Lanark County to teach Restorative Practices that:
  • build resilience
  • teach peaceful conflict resolution
  • increase emotional literacy and regulation
  • nurture empathy
  • fosters a healthy and vibrant culture of caring in the school

Young people who are skilled in Restorative Practices and are integrated into a culture of caring at their school which leads to some pretty incredible outcomes for our kids:
  • less behavioural and discipline problems
  • improves mental, emotional and physical health
  • a stronger sense of connection and less isolation
  • reduces drop out and expulsion rates
  • reduces addictions
  • reduces youth suicide rates
  • greatly increases the odds of a successful transition into adulthood
