Anti-Oppression
July 13, 5:30 – 8:00 pm
Systemic imbalances of power exist in our society. Recognizing how these imbalances influence group dynamics is an important skill for facilitators, group members, and community members at large. In this 2.5 hour workshop, through discussion and experiential learning, participants will explore their own roles and relationships with power and have an opportunity to broaden their perspectives on accessibility, allyship, inclusion, power, privilege, and how to move forward together.
Intro to Peer Support
July 16, 9:30am – 12:00pm
Are you starting a new group, or is the group you work with needing a framework for understanding how you work together? The principles of peer support are the foundational elements for creating successful peer-led groups. In this 2.5 hour workshop, participants will be introduced to these principles, identify the differences between groups that are peer-led and those that are not, and learn how to create authentic and well-functioning peer support groups based on these principles.
Queering Facilitation
July 24, 10:00am-12:30pm
This workshop will invite and centre 2 Spirit, Gender and Sexually Diverse folks. Folks who are in allyship with queer, 2 Spirit and gender diverse people are welcome. Join us as we build on the skills needed to facilitate groups that can expand beyond gender binaries and roles! Through experiential activities, discussion, and dialog, we will share experiences and learn from each other. We hope to learn on how facilitators embody intersectional queerness, along with other different identities, when facilitating in groups.
Although we are gathering in a digital space, we would like to humbly acknowledge that our organization predominantly does our work on the stolen and unceded homelands and territories of sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xwməθ kwəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations.
