Confidentiality
We are a confidential space, what is said in this space stays in this space.
With that said, we also have an obligation to report, just as every individual does, if there is disclosure of abuse against children.

Harm Reduction
We strive to commit as little harm as possible in our space. We offer some harm reduction kits, free of judgement, a comfortable atmosphere, coffee, tea and some snacks. We also strive to use inclusive/respectful language so that everyone feels comfortable.
Be mindful of how you’re speaking about other people’s experiences. People know themselves best.

Empowerment
Allow others to be themselves and make their own decisions but be responsible for your own behaviour and decisions.
