“This is a tragic example of the devastating impacts that domestic violence has on families in Calgary,” says Calgary Police Service Homicide Unit Staff Sgt. Sean Gregson. “Help is available, and we implore anyone who may have a loved one experiencing domestic violence to reach out and stop the cycle.”
Domestic violence is a complex problem that can only be addressed when everyone in the community works together to end it. Abuse thrives in silence. We encourage Calgarians to:
Learn how you can reach out and support someone you know, or suspect might be in an abusive or violent relationship.
Be an open and accepting friend if someone discloses their experience with abuse – saying “I believe you” goes a long way.
Talk to your children about what kinds of behaviours are healthy in a relationship and which ones are not.
Donate to organizations that work to support families affected by domestic and sexual violence.
Volunteer with organizations that work to support families affected by domestic and sexual violence.
