CAMBRIDGE BAY — When people talk, they gain control over family violence.
That was the message April 21 in Cambridge Bay, delivered by students in Nunavut Arctic College’s social services program at a forum on family violence, which they organized for the community: “You are not helping or protecting someone who has hurt you or someone in your family or a friend by not talking about it.”
At the event, attended by about 60 residents of all ages, the social services program’s eight students talked about where to get help and then asked everyone for suggestions on how “your life can be different.”
