Child Sexual Abuse & Violence
Sexual Abuse Intervention Program
Eligibility
Youth ages 13 and up are able to self-refer by completing this Self-Referral Form {hyperlink}. For youth and younger children, parents and caregivers can complete this Parent/Caregiver Referral.
Description
You are not alone—SAIP is here for children and youth (and their safe adults) ages 3-18 who have experienced sexual abuse. Our counsellors may not be able to undo what happened, but they are here to support your healing, with a big focus on reclaiming your sense of self and power. How? With play therapy, art therapy, and other counselling methods that are all led by you (your needs, your goals, and what you want). Your safety and choice matter in the work we do, which means you don’t have to talk about what happened in order to find your path forward. You didn’t have a choice in what happened, but here you do.

Eligibility

Description
Our Victim Support Services vary from location to location. What remains consistent is that we always let you define your situation, needs, and next steps. FSGV Support Workers can help you figure out what you need to feel safe, can advocate for you every step of the way, can navigate the justice system with you, and can help you get connected with other programs that support goals you choose. The best way to connect with one of these programs is to call Victim Link, a resource we trust to guide you through where and how to get the support you need.
