Colouring Books for Survivors of Sexual Violence

The We Heal Together: a Colouring Book for Black Survivors was an initiative of Toronto Metropolitan University’s Consent Comes First, Office of Sexual Violence Support and Education Office and Carleton University’s Sexual Assault Support Centre in 2022.
“We Heal Together acknowledges the systemic barriers and erasure of Black folks in survivor-led spaces. As Black people, our experiences with sexual trauma and hypersexualization are influenced by colonialism and anti-Black racism. We deserve time to heal, rest and be loved in community.” — Casandra Fullwood, We Heal Together Group founder.
This colouring book was inspired by the We Heal Together support group founded by TMU student Casandra Fullwood. Thank you for all your work to create safer spaces for Black survivors.
