Not-for-profit charity At the Ark launched its book series The Brave Little Bear at the Labrador Community Centre to help arm young victims of sexual abuse on Friday 24 August. The books are aimed at three age groups from children to adults. The three books aim to reach out to victims of sexual abuse and arm them with coping mechanisms as well as the steps for future prevention.The event was hosted by author Xenia Schembri and raised much needed funds for the charity while teaching children and adults about self-protective behaviours.
