Sexual violence impacts everyone, not just survivors but their communities as a whole. In BC, programs all across the province support survivors to find and access resources, as well as planning for their safety and healing.

Across BC, there are many organizations that work to support survivors of gender-based violence through different available programs based on your needs. To learn more about accessing support through these programs visit: https://endingviolence.org/services-directory/

These organizations have a goal to build supported communities, working alongside many providers in healthcare, childcare, and justice to ensure that survivors have the supports they need to heal.

One of the most impactful supports that a survivor can have is the trust and care of their loved ones and friends around. Sexual assault can be an extremely isolating experience. We know that survivors of sexual assault are of the least likely to report.

Low reporting rates are often connected to shame, fear of retaliation, fear of being blamed, and distrust of law enforcement and other authorities. Showing up in support of a survivor can mean: listening to their experience, helping them find and access support, letting them choose their own timeline to find support, and keeping them connected to community. Healing is an ongoing journey, everyone has their own timeline.

During , we want to bring awareness to the role that we all must play when someone we know has experienced sexual assault, and how we can show up for each other.

Sexual assault can happen to anyone in your community. The impacts of this experience can be extremely difficult to heal from. While it is important to highlight that survivors show incredible resilience in the face of a very difficult situation, it is important to also validate the emotions that can arise after this experience.

If you need emotional support call 310 6789 for information and resources specific to mental health. To find a service in BC, you can access our services directory by visiting www.endingviolence.org/services-directory. You can also call or text at 1-800-563-0808.

An important step in dealing with the effects of sexual assault is to talk about it with someone, without judgement and who can help you find strategies to manage intense or overwhelming emotions, and who can validate your experience and feelings.
