A new year brings new opportunities to connect and heal. This winter, the SMSRC’s Peer Support Program, in collaboration with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), is hosting new trauma-informed activities for individuals affected by sexual misconduct and military sexual trauma. These activities provide a safer space for peers to connect, share experiences, discover coping mechanisms, and support one another.

What’s happening this winter?

Trauma-informed yoga sessions: These classes offer a safer, trauma-informed, and supportive space to move, breathe, and reconnect with your body. They are led by a certified yoga instructor and adapted to all experience levels and physical abilities.
Virtual coffee chats: These informal conversations are guided by participants’ needs related to their trauma experience at the time of the chat. They are hosted by a peer supporter and a mental health worker in a friendly, casual, and supportive environment.

How to join the activities?

Activities start on January 12, 2026.
Groups include women only, men only, and all genders. More groups will be added depending on resources availability.
All sessions are held virtually on MS Teams in English and French.
Registration remains open and ongoing for yoga classes and coffee chats.
