SUMMARY:Bridges Out of Poverty: A virtual community-wide training opportunity
DESCRIPTION:The public is invited to attend Bridges Out of Poverty\, a free and virtual community-wide training opportunity designed to build a shared understanding of poverty and resilience. \nJoin us online for a powerful\, community‑focused introduction to the Bridges Out of Poverty framework in a virtual format. The training is designed to fit your schedule while delivering meaningful learning and practical tools to address poverty in our community. \nThe event will take place on Wednesday\, March 25\, from 4:30 pm to 7:30 pm on Zoom. \nThis workshop is intended to help community members understand the realities of poverty\, build greater empathy across economic experiences\, and learn strategies we can use to strengthen stability and wellbeing in Prince Edward County.

During the training\, participants will: \n\nLearn about the key resources people need to achieve stability\nExplore the complex causes and impacts of poverty\nBuild a simple mental model that explains different economic environments\nDiscover the “unspoken rules” that shape daily life across economic classes\nExamine how language and stories influence opportunities\nDiscuss the role social capital plays in creating strong\, supportive communities\nLearn practical tools for improving relationships\, communication and community outcomes\n\nThe session will include breaks\, breakout rooms\, and interactive exercises. \nPlease let us know if you require any accessibility accommodations for this session when registering.

The CSWB Plan is a municipal initiative mandated by the Community Safety and Policing Act\, 2019. It brings together local organizations\, police\, and residents to address root causes of issues like poverty\, mental health\, and housing. This plan is guided by collective impact practices\, which means different groups work together toward shared goals. \nFor more information or to be added to the CSWB community mailing list\, please email CSWB@pecounty.on.ca or call/text 613.503.0187.
