Coffee Sessions

These coffee sessions were initiated by a group as a follow-up to the community viewings of the Gabor
Mate film, Wisdom of Trauma. Getting to know people and their stories is a first step in overcoming fear and stigma and
the isolation that is experienced through a lack of community connection. Some of the comments that were recorded at
these sessions are below. In addition to members of the organizing group, attendees were a mixture of people living in
an unsheltered situation, or in poverty, or those seeking connections.
