During the courses I run for SECASA, I invite the women participants to reflect on a particular topic.   People who have been  affected by sexual abuse (particularly during childhood) usually have very low self-esteem, and feel isolated.  We aim to build connection to each woman’s creative self by providing a skill-based art group, we nurture a sense of community throughout the 12 weeks of the course, and we aim to invite participants to look out into their environment and engage more in it.
