Survivors consistently tell us that one of the most powerful parts of healing is realizing they are not alone. We offer weekly support groups to create safe, facilitated spaces where survivors can share experiences, rebuild trust, and develop coping skills alongside others who understand.

The Zonta Club of Kitchener-Waterloo held their annual golf fundraiser event, the 34th annual Betty Thompson Golf Classic this summer and raised over $52,500 to support local organizations in Waterloo Region. We are so thankful for their $8,000 contribution to our Survivor Support Groups Program.

Dedicated funding for our support groups allow us to reliably provide essential tools that directly support healing, including journals for reflection, art supplies for creative expression, yoga mats for grounding and movementbased activities, and transportation assistance to improve accessibility.

Thank you Zonta Club of Kitchener - Waterloo!
