The 2110 Centre for Gender Advocacy

The Centre for Gender Advocacy offers confidential support services through its volunteer Peer Support and Advocacy (PSA) program, which operates on principles of empowerment, harm reduction and self-determination.

The program is staffed by volunteers who have undergone training so they can be there to actively listen and help you find any resources you may be looking for – whether that’s information about health care, sexuality, legal issues, drop-in centres, or something else altogether. Support services are provided in person, via telephone and email.

Send us an email at psa[at]centre2110.org or call 514-848-2424 x7880. Or just drop by our 2110 Mackay location!

Kota Harbron

rad.psych.mtl@gmail.com

Kota first began facilitating in 2006. Since then she has written and facilitated workshops for youth and adults on a wide variety of topics. Some of her favourites have included active listening, radical mental health, demystifying the DSM, self accountability, building care into our movements, sexual health, sexual assault, consent and vegan cooking. Kota's work is rooted in and inspired by the principles of anti-oppression, radical mental health, transformative justice, community accountability and prefigurative politics. She is always excited for the opportunity to create new workshops and facilitate on different topics. She works primarily with grassroots social-justice organizations and students in the Montreal area but is willing and happy to travel when the opportunity arises. Fees are flexible depending on several factors, such as: budget of the organization/group requesting facilitation, travel expenses (if any), length of the workshop, amount of time and research necessary to write a specially-requested workshop. Please contact for more information. Kota mostly does workshops in English!

The following is a list of ressources suggested by Kota:
