Stigma and Inclusion in the workplace - Series #5 - Domestic Violence

Kerrin Jackson (She/Hers) has called Grande Prairie her home for a little over a decade. She is a registered social worker who now primarily practices in macro-level work. Kerrin is happy to be able to echo that practice into her role as Director of Education and Engagement at Odyssey House. She believes that an integral primary prevention strategy to domestic violence is being able to engage the community in education that targets underlying attitudes supporting the perpetration of violence.
