Why Support Counselling Services?
Counselling is a critical component of healing for survivors of sexual assault & exploitation in our community. Last year, the Elizabeth Fry Society provided 515 sessions of trauma therapy to those recovering from recent & childhood sexual abuse.
The organization saw a staggering 42% increase in local community members coming through their doors for help and to directly access Victim Support and Counselling services, in addition to a 52% increase in those reaching out for help through the phone, online and in person to inquire towards support.
The need for supporting survivors of abuse in the local community is clear, and access to low and no-cost therapy is crucial on the path of healing. By contributing $39 today, you secure your professional headshot session & support survivors of abuse at the same time!
Sessions are limited! Book now!
