We are a community-based peer support service for adult survivors of childhood (0-18 yrs) sexual abuse in Nova Scotia.

Currently, all peer support, one-on-one or group, is offered online. The training is also online.

All Peer Supporters must themselves be survivors of childhood sexual abuse and are assessed for suitability before acceptance into our program.

We offer support to, and need peer supporters of, all genders. We encourage male survivors to apply.

Peer supporters are not professionals or therapists and cannot give any medical or psychological advice.

A peer supporter is expected to offer confidentiality, a good listening ear and a non-judgmental approach. Through training and personal experiences, a peer supporter understands difficulties and can provide empathy, guidance, support and access to resources such as reading materials and techniques to help one through a stressful time.

Techsploration, a not-for-profit organization, was established in 1998 because we believed if you want to make a change in the number of women working in these fields, you have to reach the young women. Techsploration directly addresses this.

Techsploration provides young women from grades nine through twelve with opportunities to explore science, trades and technology occupations, while creating awareness about the critical role of work in their lives. It also helps them understand the significance of high school math and science for their future careers.

39 years ago, Terry Fox started the Marathon of Hope to raise money for cancer research and awareness. We host an annual run to keep Terry's dream alive!
