SUMMARY:Unmasked (for boys)- Session I
DESCRIPTION:A transformative program that challenges harmful stereotypes\, online influences\, and the pressures young men face in today’s culture. Participants unpack messages from the manosphere\, media\, and peers while exploring accountability\, emotional honesty\, healthy relationships\, and gender-based violence prevention. Topics like misogyny\, online radicalization\, power dynamics\, and relationship patterns require a level of maturity\, life experience\, and emotional readiness more common in ages 16+. Young men at this stage are actively navigating dating\, identity\, independence\, and social pressures\, making it an ideal time to “unmask” harmful beliefs and learn healthier alternatives.

SUMMARY:Empowering Voices
DESCRIPTION:Empowering Voices is a trauma-informed group program for women who have experienced intimate partner violence. The program focuses on rebuilding voice\, restoring self-trust\, and reconnecting with personal identity in a safe and supportive environment. \nExperiences of abuse can impact how women see themselves\, express their needs\, and trust their instincts. Empowering Voices creates intentional space to gently explore these effects while honouring each participant’s lived experience and resilience. Through guided reflection\, group discussion\, and creative exercises\, women are supported in understanding the impact of trauma while reconnecting with their strengths\, inner wisdom\, and capacity for growth. \nParticipants have opportunities to: \n\n\nReclaim their voice and sense of agency \n\n\nStrengthen self-awareness and emotional insight \n\n\nRebuild trust in their intuition and decision-making \n\n\nExplore identity beyond experiences of harm \n\n\nConnect with others who share similar journeys \n\n\nThe program emphasizes emotional safety\, choice\, and empowerment. There is no pressure to share beyond one’s comfort level\, and participation is always guided by respect and consent. Healing is approached as a personal and non-linear process\, supported by community\, compassion\, and mutual encouragement. \nEmpowering Voices offers more than discussion — it offers connection\, validation\, and the opportunity to move forward with greater clarity\, confidence\, and self-trust.

SUMMARY:Tweens
DESCRIPTION:The Tweens Group runs from September to June and meets once a week on Thursdays from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. This group is designed for children ages 8 to 12 and provides a safe\, structured\, and supportive environment where young participants can build confidence and strengthen social skills. \nThe program focuses on self-esteem\, emotional awareness\, and healthy peer relationships. Children at this stage of development are forming important ideas about who they are and how they relate to others.

Activities are designed to promote emotional safety\, encourage participation without pressure\, and build on each child’s existing strengths. \nThe goal of the Tweens Group is to help children feel secure in who they are\, develop healthy friendships\, and navigate everyday social situations with greater ease and resilience. By strengthening self-awareness and interpersonal skills early on\, the program supports long-term emotional well-being and positive development.

SUMMARY:Tweens
DESCRIPTION:The Tweens Group runs from September to June and meets once a week on Thursdays from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. This group is designed for children ages 8 to 12 and provides a safe\, structured\, and supportive environment where young participants can build confidence and strengthen social skills. \nThe program focuses on self-esteem\, emotional awareness\, and healthy peer relationships. Children at this stage of development are forming important ideas about who they are and how they relate to others. Tweens offers a welcoming space where they can explore those ideas in positive and encouraging ways. \nThrough guided discussions\, interactive games\, teamwork activities\, and creative exercises\, participants practice: \n\n\nCommunication skills \n\n\nConfidence-building \n\n\nEmpathy and perspective-taking \n\n\nProblem-solving strategies \n\n\nHealthy conflict resolution \n\n\nRespectful peer interaction \n\n\nThe group is facilitated in a trauma-informed manner\, recognizing that some children may have experienced stress\, instability\, or exposure to violence. Activities are designed to promote emotional safety\, encourage participation without pressure\, and build on each child’s existing strengths. \nThe goal of the Tweens Group is to help children feel secure in who they are\, develop healthy friendships\, and navigate everyday social situations with greater ease and resilience. By strengthening self-awareness and interpersonal skills early on\, the program supports long-term emotional well-being and positive development.
