This service provides emotional support, problem solving strategies, information, and referrals when necessary. We provide information to those who are assisting survivors of sexual violence such as friends, family members, and other community organizations.

Counselling

Counselling is available to survivors of sexual victimization (sexual assault, sexual abuse and incest) of any age, who reside in the Windsor-Essex County area.  Services to children who are victimized are co-ordinated with the Children’s Aid Society.  Counselling support is also available for non-offending significant othersSatellite offices are available.

Public Education

We participate in opportunities to educate the community on the realities of sexual violence, as well as its impact, and to implement initiatives that will reduce sexual violence in our community.  Community educational resources are available for download here.
