Summer Camp Milton Ontario 2020

Not all pain is physical. Not all wounds are visible. Just because we cannot see a wound, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Depression or Anxiety, are some of the wounds you can’t see that cut the deepest. Everyone is fighting a battle. Everyone deserves support, respect, and compassion, wherever the wound is—in the body or the mind.

All of our sessions have moved to Virtual until further notice.
> We are here to offer emotional support for the ages 6 - 16

》Chances are someone you know is a survivor of sexual violence. They might not have told you, or anyone else, out of fear of being blamed or judged. With the movement making it more acceptable for victims to openly discuss their experiences we have decided to start the conversation on our social media platforms about sexual assault/abuse.

There might come a time that a loved one might share their story with you for the first time.
If a survivor shares their story with you, help them feel comfortable by:
》Being an active, supportive listener. Listening actively means focusing on what your friend is saying and not thinking ahead to how you should respond. You don’t need to worry about giving advice; just let them know that they are being heard. You can say “I’m listening” or “I’m here for you.”
》Letting them control what happens. During their assault, control was taken from them. You can support them in making their own decisions about what next steps to take, if any, and by avoiding telling them what they should do.
》Remembering that there is no one way to react or respond to an experience of sexual assault. Some people may cry, and others may act as if everything is fine. Others might be angry. However a survivor reacts, they should not be judged or labeled based on their response. Regardless of the way they responded to the assault, make sure they feel validated and supported.
》Believing them. Make it clear that you believe the assault happened and that is was not their fault.
》Asking before touching or offering physical support. For those who have been sexually violated, touch can be re-traumatizing. Respect a survivor’s space and need for boundaries. Asking “Can I give you a hug?” and respecting the answer can re-establish their sense of security, safety, and control.
》Honoring their privacy and vulnerability. Let them decide who to tell about the assault. It can be tempting to talk to others about what happened or to get more insight, but these steps shouldn’t be taken without the survivor’s consent.
》Asking them how you can best help and support them. They may mention something you hadn’t thought of, and their needs should be prioritized.
