Meet our recipient charities! Mental health edition. 🧠

Our featured charity today is the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma. Their work providing trauma-informed individual and group therapy empowers community members to live their best lives.

We would like to highlight their trauma processing group therapy program today. This program fills a gap in mental health services because a lot of low-income therapy offerings are not trauma-informed or are very short term (2-6 sessions). As a result, CTSACT faces long waitlists and high demands for this specialized group therapy. Their participation in HOPE Volleyball SummerFest will give them the resources to increase their offerings so more people can get the support they need when they need it.

Today is Orange Shirt Day, the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. This is a day to remember and reflect on the experience of the more than 150,000 Indigenous children who were taken from their homes and placed in the so-called residential schools. Thousands of children died in these centres. CTSACT asks that you join us in pausing, reflecting, and considering how you can take action towards reconciliation. The CTSACT is working on what steps we will take as an organization.
