In the myth, the god Apollo pursued Daphne in what would be interpreted today as a sexual attack.

The laurel leaf is a symbol featured in the Centrés logo.History of The Laurel CentreIn the early 1980's those working in the addictions field realized that many addicted women - up to 80% - were also struggling to overcome the trauma resulting from childhood sexual abuse.
