💙 RIP

Rest in Peace K-9 Devi💙🕊️
“Once again, with heartfelt sadness we have to announce the passing of another one of our Police Service Dogs.

Firearm/explosives detection dog Devi passed away yesterday. Devi was 11 years old and had served the citizens of Toronto since 2015 where she was responsible for countless firearm locates.

Our condolences go out to her partner, Training Constable Brian Andrews and family for the loss of your best friend.

Rest easy Devi 🐾”

Happy 1st Birthday, River!
From puppy paws to full therapy-dog magic — what a year! So much training, so many moments of comfort, and countless lives you’ve already touched. You are truly one special therapy dog. #

On November 15th, we wear purple. 💜 Why? Because purple is the colour of courage, survival, and hope. It’s a symbol of solidarity with survivors of gender-based violence — and a statement that we believe in a future free from abuse.

Don’t have anything purple?
Remember those purple toques from the Hope in Every Step Walk? Now’s the perfect time to wear them proudly.

📸 Snap a photo, tag us, and use to show you stand with survivors and believe in change.

Let’s turn Halton purple — together.

When your partner says, “I’m okay” — they’re usually not. First responders are trained to stay calm in chaos, to keep it together no matter the cost.
But that silence after a critical incident? Now what…
That’s the weight of PTSD — quiet, heavy, and often invisible.

Let’s keep checking in on each other. The ones who say “I’m fine” are often the ones who need it most. You don’t have to carry it alone. Our door is open — drop in for a coffee, take a breath, and ground yourself. ☕️

Co-regulation isn’t about fixing someone.
It’s about showing up — calm, steady, and present — so their nervous system can remember what safety feels like.
That’s what secure attachment really is: not perfection, but presence.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) helps you challenge and reframe these beliefs.
With the support of a therapist, you learn to:
💭 Identify the patterns driving anxiety
💬 Replace self-criticism with balanced thinking
🧠 Reconnect with your sense of purpose and self-trust

You don’t have to carry the weight of every call alone.
Healing starts with one conversation.

As therapists, we help first responders navigate this next chapter — rediscovering purpose, identity, and belonging beyond the badge. Through trauma-informed care, our work focuses on understanding the impact of cumulative exposure to stress, loss, and critical incidents, while gently building new ways of finding meaning, safety, and connection.

Healing after service is not about forgetting the past — it’s about learning how to live with it differently. It’s about giving yourself permission to slow down, to feel, and to redefine what strength looks like in this new stage of life.

The recent tragedy in Brampton — where a woman lost her life to intimate partner violence — is another painful reminder that gender-based violence is still claiming lives across our province.

These are not isolated incidents.

They are part of a pattern that affects every community, including ours here in Halton. Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a future cut short.

We all have a role to play in ending this violence — by learning the warning signs, listening without judgment, and reminding those around us that help exists.

If you or someone you care about is experiencing abuse, Halton Women’s Place is here to provide safety, support, and hope — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
