Join this free online session, to meet survivors from the film, the film’s director and producer, and Dr Cathy Kezelman, President and Managing Director of Blue Knot Foundation, as they chat to television and radio presenter, Jo Stanley.

This session brings together voices of lived/living experience, filmmakers, and experts in the field of child sexual abuse and gendered violence, as they further unpack the themes explored in the film. Discussion points will include the prevalence of child sexual abuse in Australia, the life-long impacts of complex trauma, and personal perspectives on the journey towards, and barriers to trauma recovery.

The discussion will explore the film participants’ experience of Left Write Hook’s innovative, trauma-informed recovery program, featuring creative writing and non-contact boxing, along with the challenges and rewards of sharing their truths via the film.

Dr Cathy Kezelman will discuss myths and misconceptions about child sexual abuse and complex trauma, pathways to healing and insights from her own lived and living experience.
