Founded by Carrie Low
Survivors for Change and Empowerment (“S4C&E”) is a community-based resource provided by Carrie Low Training and Consulting for survivors and allies that started as a peer support group, and has gradually shifted into workshops as well as providing contextualized, one on one support to survivors. S4C&E has recently acknowledged that there are very significant gaps in legal advocacy and support for survivors throughout both legal, and non-legal processes. One of the goals of S4C&E is to be able to provide survivors with consistent legal advocacy and support that are suited to their particular needs.

S4C&E welcomes Black, Indigenous, people of colour, immigrants, international individuals, those with visible and invisible disabilities, the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and people of different gender identities
however; this space is closed to cis-gendered males.
