On-Going Support (20 Weeks)
Up to 20 weeks of individual support for women who have experienced sexual violence with a SASC support worker. Appointments are generally once per week, one-hour sessions. There can be a wait time of up to approximately 6 months before the first appointment. Periodically, our waitlist is closed to prevent longer wait times. No intake, no files, you can gain empowering support from one of our workers. The 20 weeks is typically used to discuss and receive support around issues of healing, coping, and surviving. We support women where they are and where they are looking to go.
