About this service

This closed therapeutic group for Indigenous women works to create a safe space to give voice to experiences of sexual abuse or assault, and to feel validated by the experiences of others in their communities. The group was developed in recognition that the experiences of Indigenous women are unique, and processing trauma from sexual assault or abuse needs to involve education about the bigger picture of colonialism and its inter-relationship with sexual violence.

The groups format includes exposure or introduction to traditional teachings and ceremony, as well as education about trauma and its effect on the brain and body. It also covers skills to self-regulate triggers, and aims to reduce shame, and build self-confidence and self-esteem.

Who can use it?

Indigenous women (trans-inclusive) who have experienced sexual abuse/assault, as children or adults.

When is it open?

SACE - Adult Therapeutic Groups - Wwpson Healing from Sexual Trauma Circle for Indigenous Women is open Runs once per week for 8 weeks.
