Our youth program is aimed to work with anyone 21 and under who has experienced sexual violence in their lifetime. This consists of formal counselling or informal counselling (telephone counselling sessions, options to colour or walk around). The aim is to connect with our young minds exactly where they are at without the pressure of convention – increase their tool kits to deal with emotions, offer support while healing from the trauma experienced, connect with other services aligned with their goals.

WSN always has groups and workshops on the go! And, of course, always free. To sign up, please contact Ashley, Program Manager – adunn@womenssupportnetwork.ca or 905.895.3646
