Connecting with a Counsellor

If you have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual assault or human trafficking within the last 3 months, we can provide you with trauma informed counselling services. If your experience happened more than three months ago, we encourage you to call us and we will connect you with the healing resources you need.

Counselling & Follow-Up Care

Counselling and follow-up support is available for people of all ages and gender identities who have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual assault or human trafficking within the 90 days.

  • You may be seen for counselling by our team even if you did not receive emergency medical care through our centre (or at all).
  • You can self refer by calling our office to request support. If calling after hours, leave a safe number for return call or email. You do not have to be referred by a professional.
  • You can meet with a counsellor virtually, or in person at our Cambridge or Kitchener locations.
  • Our counselling service is offered at no cost.

What to Expect?

A social worker will connect with you after we receive your information to complete a brief intake. We will review your needs and goals. This will help us connect you with a counsellor who can support you moving forward. Counselling is focused on healing from trauma, and you are in charge of your healing process. Our qualified counsellors have expertise and skills to help you cope and aid your healing journey. We want to help you met your counselling goals.
