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. Workshops run every Tuesday, 10:30 am to noon EST from March 15 to May 17.
