Abstract
ABSTRACT We are three institutional survivors who lived at one of Ontario's large, government-run institutions for people labeled with an intellectual disability. In 2018 we organized and led three workshops in Toronto, Ontario, to teach helping professionals how they can best support survivors. These workshops were called Listen to My Story. In this paper, we have written down our ideas about what people need to do to support people who lived in institutions. The paper starts with a preface that was written by our supporting author, followed by our ideas on things like the importance of telling our story, power and control, healing, and relationships.
