About The Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence
The Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence is a not for profit organization rooted in the protection and recovery of today’s most innocent and vulnerable – our children. The Centre is comprised of a collective that is driven by the courage to support children, youth, and their families affected by abuse, enabling them to build enduring strength and overcome adversity.
Their team works in a collaborative partnership with the Central Region Children's Services, Alberta Health Services, Alberta Justice, Alberta Education, the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre and the RCMP. Together they harness collective courage to provide children with supported recovery.
Their mission is clear – to break the cycle of suffering and create a community where every child and youth can thrive. Through research, education, and intervention, they aim to be the catalyst for change, challenging the status quo and setting new standards for healing, recovery, and prevention.
Located on the main campus of Red Deer Polytechnic, this groundbreaking initiative represents a visionary model that transcends boundaries, unifying strategic partners to create a hub of unwavering support.
The Sheldon Kennedy Centre of Excellence represents more than just a building; it is a transformative force for change. By consolidating their strategic partners under one roof, they forge a collective commitment to addressing the profound challenges of mental health concerns, child abuse, child exploitation, and other traumas affecting our children and youth.
In this purpose-built haven, they provide a personalized, treatment-focused environment that is a testament to our dedication to each individual’s journey. Here, healing is not just a concept; it is a tangible reality. The SKCOE is where compassionate professionals converge to bring about profound transformations, fostering resilience and empowering our most vulnerable.
