Humber College and Seneca College are partnering on a survivors group for students, Reclaim Your Voice, throughout the month of March. Reclaim Your Voice is a group specifically for survivors of gender-based violence, sexual violence, or harassment; intended to decrease the isolation that can impede the healing process, participants will engage in various creative exercises together. Reclaim Your Voice is facilitated by Jungle Flower, a survivor of intimate partner violence and poet, speaker, workshop facilitator, and trauma-informed writing guide.

Workshop Dates

• Tuesday, March 16 - 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• Tuesday, March 23 - 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• Tuesday, March 30 - 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Each session will have a Student Support & Intervention Coordinator from Humber as well as Counsellor from Seneca College present to provide students support as needed. Interested students can register by emailing Caroline Larocque at caroline.larocque@senecacollege.ca.

We encourage you to share this opportunity with your students.
