Neighbours, Friends and Families

I am going to introduce a very cool community-based campaign that has been sweeping across Ontario, Canada.  It is known as the NFF Campaign (Neighbours, Friends & Families).


Neighbours, Friends and Families is a public education campaign to raise awareness of the signs of woman abuse so that those close to an at-risk woman or an abusive man can help.


This is an amazing organization which is targeted at, yup, you guessed it, neighbours friends and families of both the victims as well as the abusers.  Often they are the ones who see the first signs of abuse, but have no idea what they can do to help.  Education is key.  It provides tons of information on how to help the victim as well as how to talk to the Moron.  It is full of information and links, and definitely worth the trip over. 


Give it a try, hop on over and spread the word... Abuse is simply NOT RIGHT.

It's great how you've turned your awful expirence into something good.  Thanks for promoting NFF - I am one of those people who wouldn't know what to do.

Thanks for stopping by, Paula Devi - hey that rhymes!!!!
It is a great organization, and a great way to educate the public. Staying silent is what keeps this beast going.  Breaking that silence is the only way to make it stop!

It sure does - hope more people see it, and it is used.  I truly do believe that information is power.
