Sexual Abuse & Assault Survivors

Sexual Assault

After the Sexual Assault

Talk to someone – a friend, counselor or doctor.

Call a sexual assault centre or a crisis line.

If the sexual assault happened recently, go to a doctor as soon as possible – even if you initially have no intention of reporting the assault to police, you may later change your mind, and the evidence that a doctor can collect can be important.

Try to believe that you will get through this. It may take a long time and be very painful, but, with courage and assistance, things will get better.

We can help. Please contact us.

Ontario announces help for male victims of sexual abuse

A new network of sexual abuse centres in Ontario will offer sexual abuse support exclusively for men. While there are many support systems in place for women and children, there has never been such a coordinated approach for men.

Attorney General Chris Bentley announced the $2-million network on Tuesday. “Every victim of abuse should have somewhere to turn and to have support,” he said.

The network is the first in Canada. Current funding will extend over two years, but Bentley says the program is permanent. Ontario will be carved into four regions and each will have a lead agency that can set up counselling support for men and help male sexual assault victims access police or legal help.

If you are a survivor of sexual assault, we can help you find the support and the compensation you need. Contact us.
