Sexual and Domestic Violence Awareness Workshop

Sexual Violence and Domestic Violence Workshops are designed to help you build resilience, develop skills to keep you and your loved ones safe, and create bonds with those who have been through the same experiences as well as educating and informing the public for prevention. Survivors deserve active, accessible and affordable advocacy, support and the right to heal on their own terms. This group is ran by peers and volunteers with a few experts coming to speak to us at certain times also. We started this group because we know we have a serious lack of education surrounding this and even sex education itself and in rural areas, we lack these resources and education even more. In a world where there is so much violence put on our children and ourselves as women, we must find and create spaces where we feel safe, comfortable, heard and overall have the support we all need. Every last Tuesday of the month 5-6pm. The majority of our workshops will be at the Peebles Library in their meeting room. Depending on weather, we may have locations outdoors, at a park or hiking location for the woods or even the private 3rd space we created where our community aid garden is. Our lead, Taryn, will be there to greet you and get us started at each of these groups and workshops. We are allies and accomplices here. 5-6pm Sexual and Domestic Violence Educational Workshops 6-7pm Women's Support Group There are no age restrictions only to make this accessible. We don't want to make younger children or your children who may need this group to feel like they can't be apart of it just because of their age. If they have experienced hardship or need a safe space just like we do, we will not be turning them away. We do understand that this could potentially keep conversations from being too deep but if enough girls or younger women would like to attend, we can start a support group for our youth. Our sexual and domestic violence workshops are to bring awareness to ourselves and our youth to he
