RECONNECTING BODY AND MIND
Reconnecting Body and Mind (RBM) is a free weekly skill-building and peer support group for people impacted by sexual violence. Sessions include movement classes, mental health workshops, nature walks, art, and nutritious cooking classes. Each week, participants leave the workshop with a new skill and/or a physical gift to commemorate their experience and encourage future skill practice. The safe and supportive setting allows survivors to focus on their skill building and promotes social connection. RBM is designed with accessibility in mind including transportation, childcare stipends, and open registration, meaning that participants are not required to attend each session, and new people may register at any time. Sessions take place in person at ESVNL’s St. John’s office.
FIREWEED COUNSELLING COLLECTIVE
Launched in November 2024, The Fireweed Counselling Collective, a joint project with Mokami Status of Women Council provides free, accessible, trauma-informed and culturally sensitive counselling to those affected by Gender Based Violence in the Labrador region. Care is prioritized for survivors and also for practitioners and community members providing support, recognizing the importance of collective care in fostering healing and resilience. The Fireweed Counselling Collective is rooted in the collaborative ethos of the Labrador Cares Coalition, a flexible network of individuals from communities and organizations across Labrador. This coalition operates as a hub for violence prevention initiatives, fostering connections, relationships, and care among its members. The Fireweed project itself emerged from the relationships and work formed through the coalition, reflecting a collective commitment to addressing the critical need for trauma-informed support for survivors of gender-based violence in Labrador.
