Summary of NAPCAN’s Evening by the River Event

Shafston House, Kangaroo Point provided the perfect venue at NAPCAN’s recent Evening by the River event.

Nearly 100 guests enjoyed the delightful QLD weather, sipped a beverage of choice, were provided with an array of canapes and listened to the NAPCAN president, Teresa Scott share the positive impacts of our community prevention programs.

Programs highlighted include:
– Play Your Part program is a community capacity building initiative that works in collaboration with children and young people, their families and communities to develop tools, resources, skills and community connections to help keep kids safe.
– Love Bites is a respectful relationships education program that focuses on the development of respectful relationships and violence prevention for 14-16 year olds.
– All Children Being Safe is a preschool and early primary school protective behaviours program developed to provide children with non-threatening ways to help them feel strong and stay safe in their communities.

Funds raised for the event will help NAPCAN to further develop prevention strategies and activities across the state.

Thank you to all of those who came and made this event a success.

Special thanks to Marty & Clive Taylor, Boucher, Shafston House and all the helpers on the night.
