About the Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Center (SKCAC)
The Sheldon Kennedy Child Advocacy Centre officially celebrated its official launch on May 23, 2013. During this inaugural year, it has shown what’s possible when professionals, corporate champions, community members and government join together to end child abuse. This pioneering collaboration is already setting a new standard, breaking down barriers and strengthening our partners’ collective ability to provide hope, help and healing to children, youth and families — a family-centered approach that has the best interests of the child at its heart. We have set our sights on becoming a Centre of Excellence specializing in leading practices, training, community awareness, education and research focused on child abuse. In 2013–14, the Centre, working with police, doctors, lawyers, and therapists, took major strides to reach that goal. Moving forward, our roadmap for the future identifies our prime areas of focus: preventing abuse, supporting victims, championing best practices, respecting diversity and establishing a Centre of Excellence. We are honored to lead an organization that brings together the talents and expertise of highly qualified, caring and compassionate people. We thank the many supporters such as Cody Snyder and the Ranchman’s Renegades Bullbustin event that help us realize our dreams for children and families impacted by abuse.
