Reclaim Your Power

Developed by Cass McCarthy at Lilac Place

Power is Something We Build Together

Reclaim Your Power is a free, closed-group program for female-identifying and gender-expansive survivors of sexual violence. The group focuses on themes of autonomy, self-compassion, and reclaiming personal empowerment in ways that feel authentic to each participant.

Each week, participants come together to learn mindful coping strategies, nurture self-acceptance, and practice collective care. This is not therapy — it’s about self-determination, connection, and building strength through shared understanding. We don’t revisit the details of our stories; we begin from a place of belief, respect, and trauma-informed care.

At Lilac Place, we’re committed to walking alongside survivors in their healing. As part of that commitment, we’re in the process of hiring a sexual trauma therapist who will be available to support community members on their journey toward healing.

This 7 week workshop series that offers peer connection and self-care skill building, still has room for new registrants for the November 2025 cohort. Contact us at info@lilacplace.ca if you are interested.

We see you, we hear you and we believe you.
