Join Jill Young and Stephanie Reyes from the YWCA for this special Articulations program exploring the themes of Lan “Florence” Yee’s Do Weeds Still Grow in Heaven

This presentation will begin with an overview of YWCA Lethbridge & District and its programs, including highlighting the supports available for those impacted by domestic violence. It will then explore domestic violence, intimate partner violence (IPV), and gender-based violence (GBV) through both a broad and local lens, examining key trends, challenges, and gaps in services. The discussion will also focus on the unique experiences of marginalized communities, including LGBTQ individuals, shedding light on the barriers they face in accessing support, the societal stigmas that contribute to silence and isolation, and the importance of inclusive, trauma-informed responses.

Free for members or with regular Gallery admission.
