The Public Legal Education and Information Service of New Brunswick, in partnership with the Department of Public Safety’s Victims Services program, has developed a new storybook resource to help children before testifying in court.

A new storybook released by the provincial government is going to benefit children who have to testify in court.
The book is called Felix Goes to Court and it has been created for kids between five and 11 years old.
It helps explain what may happen if they become the victim of a crime.
The book is dedicated to two Fredericton police officers who died in the line of duty last year.
It is available in public libraries across the province.
Pleased to attend the launch of Felix Goes to Court, a set of resources for child victims of crime. For more information and to order a copy visit https://t.co/ucOkPmP2YA pic.twitter.com/2ELlNN26E0
