The latest episode of Silence Broken: The IPV Talks podcast dives into a groundbreaking youth conference in Lanark County. Hosted by Bob Perreault and Erin Lee, with guest Emma Kinsman, the episode highlights two April conferences designed for female-identifying youth.
Kinsman explains the conference will tackle identity, media literacy, and self-worth, helping teens navigate conflicting social messages.
The “Big Feminine Energy” theme invites students to critically examine online narratives and foster confidence. The event, hosted in Carleton Place and Smiths Falls, aims to empower youth with media literacy as a life skill.
Lee emphasizes that these conferences are part of a broader effort to equip youth and adult supporters with tools to prevent intimate partner violence. The goal is to instill self-esteem and ensure youth understand their value as they navigate relationships and media.
