Survivor-led · Brain-science-informed · Prevention-driven
Prevent abusebefore a childhas to survive it.
PWR 360 connects brain science, survivor leadership, and community wisdom to prevent child abuse.
Children deserve systems designed to protect them before harm occurs.
PWR 360 is a survivor-led, federally incorporated Canadian not-for-profit corporation. Throughout our work, “educator” includes academic teachers and athletic coaches.
Find your place in prevention
Every pathway below starts the same way: a conversation by email. Nothing is agreed by sending a form.
The essential question
What would it take for protection to last through changes in leadership, uncomfortable concerns, and pressure to protect an institution’s reputation?
We do not wait for a fire before designing fire safety.
We do not wait for a collision before designing road safety.
Child safety should work the same way.
PWR 360 starts before harm.
Child Architecture™ · In development
Three layers of protection, designed to hold together.
Child Architecture™ builds abuse prevention into how adults teach, coach, lead and respond. It treats protection as a structure rather than a promise: something that holds when people change.
Confirmed today: conversations about your setting, research translation partnerships, and the material published on this site. Proposed: learning modules, pilot delivery and evaluation tools, which are still being developed.
Inner layer · 1 of 3
Children
Boundaries and support
Children learn what their boundaries are, have language to name what is happening, and know which adults they can go to.
Middle layer · 2 of 3
Adults
Recognition and action
Teachers, coaches, instructors and administrators learn to notice concerning behaviour and know what to do in the moment.
Outer layer · 3 of 3
Institutions
Accountability
Governors keep reporting pathways, records and safeguards working through staff turnover, leadership changes and pressure.
What a partner would do with us · four steps, in order
Examine
How concerns are currently noticed, reported, recorded and followed up, and where protection depends on one person.
Learn
Brain-science-informed learning on stress, freeze responses, authority and grooming, alongside community knowledge.
Put into practice
Practical routines for recognising concerns, respecting boundaries and responding, adapted to the setting.
Review
What changed after six to twelve months, and what still depends on individuals rather than the system.
Can I trust you to notice when something is wrong and protect me before I’m hurt?
Partnership · PWR 360 × KAYPIC
How the partnership works
- 01
PWR 360
Builds safeguarding practice
Child Safety Architecture™, boundaries, adult learning, reporting pathways, and role clarity.

Schools & organizations
Put practice to work
Set appropriate access, follow safeguarding policies, and use established reporting and response routes.
Together, we connect prevention principles with the everyday work of running programs.
Pilot planning · Seeking partners
Cultural Nations Bridge Pilot
Brain health. Cultural knowledge. Safe sport.
PWR 360's proposed six-week pilot brings Indigenous knowledge, brain science, and safe sport into conversation to support Indigenous youth, caregivers, coaches, and communities. Through movement, relationships, and practical learning, the pilot explores boundaries, wellbeing, belonging, and the conditions young people need to thrive.
Community voices and authority are essential from the beginning. We are seeking Indigenous community partners, funders, researchers, and organizations interested in helping shape and support this work.
This pilot is proposed. No Nation, community, school, funder or researcher has been confirmed as a participant, and community partners hold authority over cultural knowledge, participation, implementation and how it is used. The pilot is not presented as proven, and we make no clinical claims.

Patient Zero Podcast
Join Shabeka Taylor and Jennifer Fraser, PhD, for conversations about abuse, brain science, institutional silence, and the people working to change what happens next.
No episodes or launch date have been announced yet. Email updates are the way to hear first.
Support the work
Help make protection part of every child’s everyday life.
PWR 360 brings survivor leadership, brain science, and community knowledge together to strengthen the systems surrounding children. Support currently goes toward framework development, pilot planning, and translating research into practical learning.
Where support goesHow support works
There is no online donation button yet. Support begins with a conversation: tell us what you would like to make possible, and we will confirm in writing what it would support, what is still being developed, and what we cannot yet promise. You can also discuss pilot funding directly.
PWR 360 Foundation is a federally incorporated not-for-profit corporation, not a registered charity, so we cannot issue charitable tax receipts at this time. We do not publish impact figures or budgets we cannot verify.
Who leads the work

Built on published research, with interpretation stated plainly.
Our learning draws on peer-reviewed research on abuse, stress and authority. The research is published; our translation of it into learning and tools is in development, and we say which is which.
The action
Build safer systems with us.
Tell us where you work and what you want to strengthen. Start a conversation about how PWR 360's developing prevention work could support your school, sport organization, or community.
