Coming To Voice: Surviving an Abusive Therapist
Pamela Sleeth co-founded the Vancouver Incest and Sexual Assault Society (‘81). She was the first Supervisor of Vancouver’s original transition house (’78-81). With the Women’s Resource Centre, Pam was on the research committee for Battered and Blamed: A Report on Wife Assault from the Perspective of Battered Women ('80) and co-wrote Recollecting Our Lives: Women’s Experience with Sexual Abuse ('89). In the late 80s and early 90s, Sleeth co-designed and facilitated the Justice Institute of BC's Adult Survivor Program that provided training for counselors working with sexual abuse survivors. She had a long and extensive history training and lecturing on the long-term consequences of trauma for a number of private and public organizations. She served as a member of the Law Commission of Canada's panel on Institutional Child Abuse that resulted in the 2000 publication entitled Restoring Dignity, was a consultant to various programs in BC around stopping violence against women, and participated on early committees examining the abuse of First Nations' children in residential schools. Ms. Sleeth was a well-known expert around child sexual abuse working with some of the most profoundly traumatized survivors.  And in 2015, a year after her death, a women's sexual assault centre in Vancouver, BC announced an event to honor Sleeth's feminist work.

Emma was no longer able to stay silent.  Pamela had, at one point, saved her life.  However, she had also transformed into one of Emma's worst predators.
