November is Family Violence Prevention Month in Alberta 💜

Alberta has the third highest rate of self-reported spousal violence among Canadian provinces — yet family violence is preventable.

Family violence is an abuse of power within a family or other trusting relationship. Its effects are felt throughout families, workplaces and communities. Recognizing the signs, and knowing how to respond, can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

At Islamic Restoration Society – IRES, we stand for healthy, safe relationships.

Through our PEACE initiative — Prevention, Education, Advocacy, Community and Empowerment — funded by a grant from the Government of Alberta, we support Muslim families facing family challenges and domestic violence, and help connect them to the supports they need.

You are not alone. Reach out for PEACE support:
