My Monsters Hold Me Soft (presented by Story Planet) is a workshop series 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

This week’s topic: Representation, and the act of understanding, caring, and cherishing others

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.
