The Bridge Community Programs were developed by the Clinical Team at the Little Warriors Be Brave Ranch, in collaboration with Safe Places.

We began with a concept to develop a workshop, to educate children and teens, on how to help prevent sexual abuse, in line with the Little Warriors Prevent it! Program that educates adults on how to help prevent and respond to child sexual abuse.

As the team began developing content, it became apparent that we could and should utilize the knowledge and expertise of our psychologists, social workers, professionals, and parents to develop a program that would become a platform to educate and empower children and youth on a much broader spectrum.

After some community consultation with stakeholders and youth to assess the needs we landed on a new vision….to create an online module-based program addressing multiple topics by providing information, resources, tools and support services in an interactive, age appropriate way that we can make available to as many youth as possible.

We are now excited to be able to share with the community – the Bridge programs for Children and Youth

• Individual Adolescent Program for 12-17 years old 

• Facilitated (Group) Adolescent Program for 12-17 year olds

• Individual Children’s Program for 8-12 year olds to take with their Parent/Supportive Caregiver

• Facilitated (Group) Children’s Program for 8-12 year olds

Thanks to our funding partners we are able to offer this program at no cost. We will continue to seek additional funding for these programs to continue offering them to youth in communities all across Canada.

Little Warriors and Safe Places would like to extend a big Thank You to Chinook School Division and their school counsellors, along with other Saskatchewan and Albertan partners and youth for reviewing and piloting the program. The feedback related to the content, format and support structure needed to implement this program has helped shape a program that we can all be proud of.
