To help expecting parents feel safe and confident in preparing for the delivery of their baby, we provide information and a tour of the maternity ward at Royal University Hospital.

We strive to promote social inclusion, raise awareness among those who may be feeling left out, reduce bullying, aggression and violence, and promote pro-social behaviour. This program also seeks to foster the development of empathy and emotional literacy in children. It is presented in selected schools at kindergarten and elementary school levels and was developed in partnership with the National Roots of Empathy office in Toronto and the Saskatoon Public School Division.
