Episode 9 - Honouring the Past, Healing the Future: The Significance of Dec 6 December 6th holds a poignant significance in Canada, marking the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. This solemn day commemorates the tragic events of the École Polytechnique massacre in 1989, where fourteen women were senselessly murdered. The horrific incident underscored the pervasive issue of gender-based violence and ignited a movement to address this pressing societal problem. In this episode we also discuss our experience during the November 30th Trauma-Informed Awareness Women's Self Defence Seminar. What we took away from it and the feedback we received from the participants. During this part of the discussion we talk about situation awarenss and how easily distracted we can be in today's world. The use of social media, and mobile devices, and their impact on us. I reference a few books that dive deep into this topic as it relates to the silent mental health and trauma epidemic. One of theses books is called, The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness (https://lnkd.in/eNDXDYk8) Furtehrmore, we talk about the the appearance of one of our co-founders, Eric Poirier, on CBC Radio Canada's Saturday Morning Podcast, A echelle humaine. He was one of six panelist discussing men's mental health (this is a french language podcast - https://lnkd.in/g8WNwPQD). Communities can benefit immensely from the expertise of professionals such as community and workplace traumatologists, post-traumatic growth specialists, ASIST trainers, and trauma-informed self-defence instructors. These individuals can provide essential support services, empower survivors, and educate the public about the impact of violence. By addressing the root causes of violence and promoting healing, these professionals can contribute to a safer and more compassionate society (from our blog here - https://lnkd.in/e-mJhxaP....

Trauma Informed Awareness - Women’s Self Defence Seminar “Overall, I found this course to be very informative and eye-opening. As a woman, I would recommend this course to my colleagues and friends; and consider having this course offered at my workplace. The final quiz and competition made the afternoon fun - and made me more aware of my surroundings!” ~ Anonymous ~ T4TCS - Focus | Agency | Regulation #HowFARwillyougo #t4tcs #selfdefence #trauma #traumainformed #mentalhealth #womensselfdefence Check out the reviews here: https://lnkd.in/gR5KPUzT

Here is our latest write up. Did you know? "When parents and adults fail to establish secure attachments with their children, it can contribute to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), such as parental neglect. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of negative mental health outcomes for the child in the future." Keep reading by following the link below.
