In late 2021 / early 2022, we hosted four skills-based, mental health workshop series to teach 2SLGBTQ+ practical tools to support themselves and their peers. Topics included somatic/embodied practices, boundaries and relationships, arts-based exploration, and active listening.
As part of this project — which has generously been funded by the City of Toronto — we developed additional tools, which we’re excited to release today!
We created two zines and a video. The zines cover somatic experiencing and using metaphors to talk about emotions, while the video provides a primer on boundaries.
Lots of care and intention has been poured into the creation of these tools, and we hope you find them useful <3
