I am passionate and honoured to provide “Beyond Sexual Trauma: Awareness, Intervention and Recovery,” a workshop that aims to train survivors, workers, parents, and individuals in a leadership positions to become an ally by learning skills to support survivors of sexual trauma.

I recently facilitated this sexual trauma workshop at SERDC in the Winnipeg office, Pinaymootang, Poplar River and at Jordan's Principle on-reserve gathering in March.

I would like to offer similar training to your communities, and together we can begin to heal and change the internal and external narratives that oppress sexual trauma survivors. Most perpetrators of sexual abuse are also survivors of sexual trauma; therefore, bringing sexual trauma awareness to our communities is the way to stop the cycle of abuse.

Who is this training for?

The workshop is for everyone, including parents, so they can learn to support and become an ally for their children/teenagers who are survivors of sexual abuse.

The workshop is for you :

If you work with survivors of sexual abuse
If you are a survivor
If you have a family member who is a survivor of sexual abuse
