Workshops

At ORCC we also offer various workshops series for survivors that cover a variety of topics including healthy communication, assertiveness, self-esteem, healthy relationships, boundaries and trust. These groups are primarily educational and do not require a women to register or complete a pre-screening interview. A workshop series will generally span over 4 weeks, 3 times a year in the Fall, Spring and Summer. Each workshop will typically have 5- 14 participants and are held during the afternoon or evening at ORCC. The goal of the group is to provide education and awareness raising on a variety issues that affect sexual assault survivors.

Group Counselling vs. Workshops

The four main differences between group counselling and workshops are that group counselling is significantly longer in length. Also, while the focus of group-counselling is to explore more deeply the impacts of sexual violence and to provide an opportunity for survivor’s to tell their stories, the focus of the workshops are to provide education and awareness.  Finally, workshops do not require a woman to register or complete a pre-screening interview beforehand and do not require a woman to attend all of the workshop series.
