This training emphasizes the importance of survivors not harming each other and how to recognize the signs. we aims to help participants identify healthy, supportive work environments and recognize signs of unhealthy ones. Through real-life examples, I’ll share insights on navigating workplace challenges, toxic leadership, and supporting those vulnerable to manipulation or exploitation.

The goal is to equip you with the tools to advocate for yourself, disrupt cycles of abuse, and create a strong network of survivors who actively engage in their own healing.

Empathetic mentorship creates a safe, supportive space for survivors of trauma, particularly sexual abuse, to heal and grow. As a mentor, your role is to foster trust, using trauma-informed principles to help mentees rebuild self-esteem, develop coping strategies, and regain control of their healing process.

Empathy in mentorship goes beyond guidance—it's about listening, validating experiences, and encouraging independence. This approach helps survivors build resilience, find strength in their struggles, and advocate for themselves. Through consistent, compassionate mentoring, you’ll help mentees build a strong support system, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and reclaim their voice in their recovery.
