What is Sexual Assault?

Sexual assault is any unwanted act of a sexual nature imposed by one person upon another. Forced or coerced intercourse, grabbing, touching or kissing can be defined as sexual assault.

If you or someone you know is a survivor of sexual assault, we can help.

We offer a 24-hour crisis and support line for survivors of sexual violence, as well as friends and family members of survivors. We also offer counselling for survivors of all genders ages 14 and over in a supportive, safe environment as well as in all Brant County high schools, emergency services, accompaniment and support through hospital, police, and court procedures, public education, and community events.
