April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Throughout April, our Family Support Worker and Community Engagement and Program Coordinator visited various schools to discuss consent. In these discussions, students learned about boundaries, power imbalances, factors that impact consent, how to have consent conversations, what trauma responses are, and more. We thank the schools that welcomed us and all the students for engaging in this important conversation! We continue to raise awareness and educate on topics surrounding sexual violence by sharing important terminology. Our monthly support group will be discussing consent and sexual violence on April 30th, please call 902-893-3232 if you wish to register. If you believe you or someone that you know has experienced sexual violence please reach out for help.Third Place Transition House: 902-893-3232Colchester Sexual Assault Centre: 902-897-4366 ...

The 4 Primary Trauma Responses tell us how the body naturally responds to perceived threats. These responses are not always a conscious decision, but are automatic physiological responses designed to protect us from harm. Understanding these threat responses is crucial when discussing consent violations such as sexual assault. Fight : This response is characterized by aggression or confrontation. A person may directly confront the perceived threat and use physical aggression to protect themselves.Flight : Any means to escape the situation whether that be running, hiding, any method of avoiding the threat.Freeze : One may feel immobilized or paralyzed with fear. It is common to disassociate or stay as still as possible in an attempt to minimize harm.Fawn : Complying to minimize harm. In this response a person may fear they will be in greater harm if they do not comply or appease the threat. Complying to minimize harm is not consent.All trauma responses are valid and designed to keep us safe. If you believe you or someone that you know has experienced sexual violence please reach out for help.Third Place Transition House: 902-893-3232Colchester Sexual Assault Centre: 902-897-4366 ...
