Teacher Resource (Background Information for Student Assignment)<br />

The following provides the teacher with some background information related to<br />

accessing resources and support.<br />

Where can one go for support and information related to violence issues?<br />

Sexual Assault Support and Information<br />

1. Talk to family, friends, teachers, counsellors or another trusted person.<br />

2. Get medical assistance from family doctor, a clinic or hospital. Sexual Assault Care<br />

Centres are located in hospitals and offer specialized care for sexual assault survivors.<br />

3. Contact a sexual assault or womenÕs crisis centre or a local 24-hour crisis line.<br />

These places will be listed in the front pages of the local telephone book and are<br />

staffed by people who provide a number of important services: non-judgemental<br />

crisis counselling (both in person and on the phone), referrals, court support, and<br />

advocacy.<br />

4. Contact the police. Some people are reluctant to deal with the police because they<br />

fear not being believed and potential police insensitivity to sexual assault survivorsÕ<br />

needs. It is important that victims have accurate information about accessing the<br />

legal system.<br />

It is important that sexual assault victims get support from someone they trust,<br />

whether or not they choose to report the assault. Supporters can provide them with<br />

the emotional support and help if they choose to access the legal system.<br />
