In this instalment of our series on student organizers, Hart House Student Podcaster Muzna sits down with the founder and director of the Prevention Empowerment Advocacy Response Project (PEARS) for survivors at the University of Toronto, Micah Kalisch. Micah shares their experience creating a peer-led, grassroots support organization while still an undergraduate student, the need to be nimble and responsive in this work, and the compelling reasons they are called to create a community of care and support for survivors. This episode comes with a content warning. In this conversation we talk about sexual assault and abuse, which we know can be distressing topics. We offer this content warning to empower you, our audience, to make healthy decisions about how, and if, you should consume this podcast content. Please take care.
