Sexual Assault Services:  Crisis, Short-term & Long-Term Counselling

Support services are available to victims of sexual assault and their families, regardless of age or gender.  Individual sessions are designed to support personal coping skills and accelerate recovery in people who are experiencing the after-effects of a trauma. Regardless of the length of time since the assault, all victims can benefit from appropriate supportive intervention.

Sexual Assault Services:  Empowerment and Guidance

Sexual Assault Response Team (SART): Volunteers are on call 24 hours a day to provide accompaniment and support for victims of sexual assault. SART offers support to the victims and their loved ones who have been brought to the Red Deer Regional Hospital in an emergency situation.

Police assistance: CASASC staff facilitate and provide accompaniment to police for those victims wishing to make a report.  There is no statute of limitations on sexual assault; that is, a police report can be made regardless of the length of time since the assault occurred.

Confidential services to victims of sexual assault are offered at no fee.
