EDUCATION, VICTIMIZATION, PROTECTION

OTBSS works closely with educators and subject experts to develop engaging presentations and interactive workshops that address current issues impacting educational facilities, organized sport associations and youth driven organizations.

Recognizing that each of them face their own unique challenges, OTBSS consults with the administration team beforehand to tailor presentations that will address their specific needs, to ensure meaningful, positive outcomes.

Our sessions are highly interactive, using open discussions, role-playing, problem-solving exercises, and group activities to fully engage participants.

All presentations align with the Ontario Education Act, Safe Schools initiatives, and individual school board policies.
