Salal provides sexual assault counselling to survivors of marginalized genders on their healing journeys. Counsellors work with survivors to explore empowerment, healing, grounding strategies, and more.

Counsellors may not be trans, Two-Spirit, or nonbinary, but have been given the skills and resources to support survivors experiencing the unique oppressions gender diverse folks face.

Indigenous survivors can access counselling rooted in Indigenous healing practices and traditions, including teachings based on the Medicine Wheel, which focuses on spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance.

This workshop series is provided for Indigenous survivors of sexualized violence of marginalized genders and is grounded in culture and tradition. Due to colonization and other forms of oppression, many Indigenous peoples have been disconnected from their teachings and ways of being in the world, especially being separated from community and living in an urban setting. Remembering Our Ancestors is grounded in cultural teachings to re-establish a connection to the land, bring traditional movement for healing the mind, body, and spirit, reclaim ancestral stories, Two-Spirit teachings, and include Indigenous teachings in our daily lives to help us heal. This virtual series extends from October to February, offering a new workshop each month. Each workshop is hosted over four weekly sessions a month. A closing ceremony is held in March. Participants are encouraged to attend all four workshops in the series to establish a deeper connection with the teachings and one another.
