You deserve support, understanding, and the tools to thrive—these resources are here to meet you where you are and walk with you on your healing journey.

Survivor Support Platform

The Survivor Support Platform provides survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence with education about their rights and the options available to them following acts of violence. It offers clear guidance on navigating the criminal justice system, reporting to law enforcement, and accessing care at hospitals and health centres. Survivors can also explore resources for support, empowering them to make informed decisions on their healing journey.
