"F.I.T." WORKSHOP

The Gatehouse would like to celebrate the courage, strength and resiliency of Jean Paul Bedard. 

Jean Paul is embarking on a very special journey to raise awareness about childhood sexual abuse, its devastating effects on survivors and that healing from the trauma is possible! 

He is running the Double Boston Marathon, an 84.4km feat and raising funds to support The Gatehouse programs for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. 

It is with great pleasure that we welcome to The Gatehouse our new Manager, Mr. Brad Hutchinson!

Brad is a speaker, author, trainer, and publisher. Brad is a black sash martial artist and an instructor of Shaolin Kung Fu. He especially enjoys inspiring children and presents exhilarating, self-esteem building programs for schools across Ontario.

The Gatehouse Transforming Trauma Into Triumph Conference was held Monday April 28th & Tuesday April 29th, 2014 at the Toronto Police College.

We are putting together a collection of stories from survivors of all types of traumatic experiences.   We are looking for stories from The Gatehouse and the community for this book with the tentative title “Journeys from Trauma”.

The over-arching purpose of this book is Voice. The voice of the people who have had their voice taken from them through the trauma in whatever form it was for them in their life. Within this arc we are also wanting to present the experience of hope and transformation to others who are dealing with trauma in their life.

The Gatehouse would like to take this opportunity to thank the Mackenzie Financial Charitable Foundation for their generous donation of $15,000 to The Gatehouse Child Abuse Investigation and Support Program. These funds will be used to support the program and the role of the Gatehouse Child and Family Advocate to continue to provide essential services to children, youth and families going through the investigation process.

The Gatehouse art exhibit, Transforming Trauma: A Worldwide Movement was on display at Humber Gallery from October 7 - 11th.  The theme of the exhibit was personal transformation leading to social transformation.  Also featured were photos of agencies that provide similar services to The Gatehouse from Ghana, Guyana, and the US who are part of The Gatehouse Network International.  Over 300 people viewed the exhibit which was recently featured in SNAP'd, Humber Online, Humber Radio and Humber EtCetera.  Thank you to all staff, volunteers and supporters of the event.  Thank you to Humber Sch
