Adult Survivors of Sexual Abuse

Provided by: Burnaby Family Life (BFL)

Service Description

A three-level group offering psycho-education on the impact of sexual abuse and the processing of childhood abuse memories. Sessions aim to foster participants' ability to live in the present without being overwhelmed by thoughts and feelings of the past, and to be ready to take concrete steps towards empowerment and self-determined living. Participants are required to commit to all three levels, and must have a one-to-one therapist. A screening interview is required to determine eligibility, so interested parties should call ahead to be put on the waitlist. Group runs annually. Funded by Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General (MPSSG) as a Stopping the Violence (STV) Counselling program.
