SEXUAL VIOLENCE SURVIVOR GUIDE

Dear Survivor,

We recognize that this is a very difficult time for you. It is important for you to know that Victim Services Wellington is here to provide assistance and support.

Victim Services Wellington believes that everyone impacted by sexual violence should be treated with respect, dignity, fairness, and honesty, in a professional and bias-free manner.

As someone impacted by sexual violence, you have taken an important step by browsing through this website and/or accessing our guide. The resource guide provides information on sexual assault investigations, possible outcomes, and the criminal court process. We have also included information on financial compensation programs and how to access professional counselling and supports in Guelph.

If you do not want to make a report to the police, or you need time and support to make that decision, we have partnered with many other agencies that can help you during this difficult time. A list of these agencies and their contact information is located in the back of the guide. Or feel free to reach out to us.

Sincerely,

VSW
