If you have experienced sexual assault or other forms of sexual violence – it is NOT your fault.
The Centre for Sexual Violence Response, Support & Education (known as the Centre) is here to offer support and resources if you or someone you know has experienced or been impacted by any form of sexual or gender-based violence – regardless of where or when it took place. You are in control of the support you receive, and we are here to help you in whatever path you wish to take for your healing journey. We hope to guide you and keep you informed so you can make the best decision for yourself.
