Making Waves / Vague par vague

Making Waves/Vague par vague (MW/Vpv) is an innovative and successful provincial relationship violence prevention program which has been in operation in New Brunswick since 1995. Guided by principles of equality, equity and diversity, we engage youth in a peer process to explore and raise awareness of relationship violence issues. Teens become active partners in creating a world in which violence is not tolerated.

MW/Vpv is the only provincial program dedicated to empowering youth in preventing relationship violence. Our programs have been lauded on provincial, national, and international levels. We have been evaluated both internally and provincially, and are one of only four youth relationship violence prevention programs in Canada chosen to participate in a national evaluation process conducted by the Canadian Women’s Foundation. The message is consistent: MW/Vpv works.
