Youth Survivors’ Circle

DRCC’s Youth Survivor’s Circle is a specific group for survivors of sexual violence who are 16-29 years of age. This is a dedicated judgement-free space where youth survivors can learn, grow, and heal together. Some groups are themed with specific topics, and are delivered as a psychoeducational group, facilitated by one of DRCC’s youth-aged counsellors. Other sessions are specifically created by the day-to-day struggles that are addressed by the group members. This is an ideal space where youth-aged survivors can relate and come together to receive/offer peer support, to aid with learning and mental health management. Some of the topics can include, but are not limited to: Healthy Relationships & Sex, Managing Daily Stressors, Triggers & Flashbacks, Sleep Disturbances, Anxiety & Depression, Self-Esteem & Strength Building, and Processing Trauma. DRCC’s Youth Survivor’s Circle has been designed using a feminist, trauma-informed, and strengths-based approach.
