Carleton University’s Sexual Assault Support Centre (CUSASC) is excited to announce Consent Awareness Week, a rebranded initiative replacing the #CUriousAboutConsent campaign. Consent Awareness Week is a national campaign held annually across Canada during the third week of September, designated as the ‘Red Zone’.
From September 16-20, 2024, we’ll offer a range of workshops, discussions, and events to raise awareness about consent as a daily practice and commitment, sexual violence prevention, and bystander intervention as a means of taking action and care of one another.
Join us as we kick off this week-long campaign and continue our commitment to fostering a safer and more informed campus community.

This is an all-level yoga class taught from a trauma-sensitive lens, allowing participants choice and agency over their bodies and practice. The first half hour of class will be dedicated to discussing and practicing some somatic tools and techniques and will be followed by an hour asana (physical) yoga class.
Yoga can be extremely beneficial in helping regulate your nervous system, find safety within your body, and can contribute to post-traumatic growth. It can also offer a safe container to explore feelings and sensations & can help us connect to a sense of community.
This class is suited for all levels of yogis and will offer variations and chose to best suit everyone’s personal yoga practice.
