Children Advocacy and Educational Programs.

The safe space foundation provides tools, curricula, and programs designed to raise awareness and reduce risk factors related to child sexual abuse.  Because we know that 95 percent of sexual abuse is preventable through education and awareness, we offer comprehensive child friendly educational material and program that teaches children,and parents the necessary tools to keep children safe. We provide training manuals, handbooks as well as visit schools to teach them about preventive and assertive skills on how to protect themselves in a case of assault.

Safety and Prevention Programs

At the safe space foundation , Our mission is to provide programs and resources that enable victims/survivors of domestic and sexual violence to regain control of their lives . We understand that the safety of a person is paramount and that even though the responsibility is not on the victim, we encourage victims of assault and people who need to equip themselves with defense skills in the likely case of an assault. We provide Krav Maga by our professional self defense instructors who teach on how to defend oneself which will provide them with a sense of safety in any given situation.

GROUP COUNSELLING AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS

We provide mental and emotional rehabilitation programs for survivors and victims of sexual violence, we recognize the trauma sexual violence can inflict on a victim so we offer free group counselling and therapy sessions for survivors to help aid in the recovery of their well-being.By providing survivors with professional tools that help assess their needs, evaluate alternatives, access caring and compassionate services, and be empowered to make decisions about their future. Counselling can help you explore the difficulties you may be experiencing in a non-judgmental, understanding environment. A counselor is there to help you to discover your own inner resources and allow you to look at things in a different way at your own pace.

MAN UP

“ :True equity and equality in the realm of gender, means that we go together. “

This project was geared towards creating a healthy environment for men to be themselves, free of judgement where they come to engage in conversation about their reproductive health, physical and mental health, healthy sexual education and conversation and that allows them to learn about violence, healthy sex culture and consent education. It is an initiative specifically targeted to males so they can see where they measure up on the scoreboard of ally ship. Teaching men about consent and their role as a bystander would go a long way to end violence against women.This project would consist of high school sensitization and events to educate men only on sexual violence.

THE SAFE HOUSE

The Safe Space Foundation aims to provide a safe house which would be used for all safe space activities and programs as well as serve as a temporary emergency safe house / shoulder for victims in potential danger or those who seek temporary shelter from a violent situation. The shelter can host a guest for a maximum of 30 days and have the services of the safe space available to them until they can be moved to a safer environment.
