The Ironwood Project - Peer Support for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse

The Ironwood Project provides peer support groups and one-on-one mentoring for survivors of childhood sexual abuse across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. Trained peer supporters who are themselves survivors facilitate regular meetings where participants share experiences, process trauma, and build connection in a safe environment. The organization recognizes that recovery often requires understanding from others who have walked similar paths, and matches survivors with mentors who can offer genuine empathy and practical guidance. Beyond support groups, the project offers resource referrals, advocacy training, and community education to reduce stigma around sexual abuse. Services are free and confidential, with flexible formats including virtual options to accommodate different needs and schedules.
