Wow Toronto is proud to present our 12-week workshop focusing on two critical areas that can be affected through a sexual assault encounter – Trust and Self-Esteem. As we are a support system for individuals who are sexual assault survivors, we have tailored our 12-week workshop to address, determine and overcome the barriers that inhibit the development of trust and self-esteem.
Trust will be addressed in the first 6-week sessions. After the first 6 weeks, we will take a 2-week break, to then return for the last 6-week sessions that will focus on the topic of Self-Esteem.
The Workshops will be held twice a week, with one workshop occurring during that day. There will be one workshop during the morning for 3-4 hours and one in the evening for 3-4 hours. During the first session, there will be 30 minutes for registration and housekeeping activities to ensure all participants are set for the 12-week program. All sessions will involve a lecture portion and a self-reflecting portion, which will provide understanding, support, and guidance throughout your recovery.
