Healing Circles

In Collaboration with the Ottawa Rape Crisis Center, the Healing Circles program holds monthly sessions that provide a space for healing, growth, education on Afro-centric healing strategies and safety for Black youth. These circles will also carve out sessions to discuss the needs of Black survivors when it comes to accessing services and what community agencies can do to support this process.

The Healing Circles are a series of discussion groups to discuss experiences of support-seeking and to foster connection among the Black community in Ottawa. The Healing Circles will create safer spaces for Black individuals to meet and be in community with each other in a space filled with shared experiences.

This space is for you! Come as you are, we are here to listen and be in community with you. Our goal is for every community member to leave this space feeling seen and heard.
