My Monsters Hold Me Soft (presented by Story Planet) is a 9-session workshop for queer, disabled young people ages 20–25 who have been directly affected by abuse and/or other forms of trauma. Utilizing short comics as a therapeutic approach, the program will help participants move beyond abstract thought to acknowledge traumatic experiences and face them head-on.

About this Event

As a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive workshop, this is a safe, intimate, and creative circle for those who wish to work together to heal from trauma.

Featuring artists, art therapists, and art expressive therapists as the facilitators, we also have a wide array of guest speakers within the queer and disabled community as well as a counsellor.

No prior experience with comics or art is needed. All sessions will be held virtually over Zoom and are free. Registration opens on May 24th at 2pm EST via the link below. Workshops run every Monday & Thursday, 2-3pm EST from May 31st - June 28th.
