Support Group

When: On hold for the summer. Check back in September!

We acknowledge that we work, study, and play on the unceded, occupied, and ancestral territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam)

What we are:

Support group for individuals who are struggling with/have struggled with self harm
Confidential – what is said in group stays in group*
Peer-to-peer
Recovery oriented
Safe Space
Positive Space

What we are not:

Community Agreement:

You can share as much or as little as you want
There is no obligation to share, you can simply “exist”
Speak from personal experience, we cannot recommend one method of recovery over another
Respect that everyone brings unique experiences
Be aware that your peers may be at a different stage of recovery than you
If you have fresh injuries (cuts/burns etc.), please do cover those up as they can be triggering, scars are okay, because they are part of who we are
Please do not share pictures of your injury as that may be a trigger for other members
If you need to share graphic descriptions, please always warn that it may be triggering beforehand, be mindful of your own headspace and others
Bringing weapons to group will not be tolerated, you will be asked to leave
Zero tolerance policy – if you attend under the influence of substances (alcohol and illicit drugs), you will be asked to leave

*Limits to confidentiality:
If information that suggests the following is disclosed, we have the duty to report:
