Salal’s community-based Victim Services Program supports women, trans, nonbinary, Two-Spirit, and gender diverse survivors navigating medical care and understanding systems of accountability after a sexual assault.

Survivors don’t need to navigate post sexual assault healthcare, police, court, tribunals, or other reporting options, alone. Salal’s Victim Services staff are able to accompany and support survivors through sexual assault exams, statements to police, court, and tribunal hearings.

They provide largely in 3 ways:
• Crisis support
• Post assault health care
• navigating systems of accountability
