Avalon Sexual Assault Centre

Purpose

Avalon has integrated CAF-linked service providers into their programs while supporting critically under-resourced services that are already being accessed by those affected by sexual misconduct within the Defence community. This program aims to strengthen relationships with organizations and service providers who work with diverse populations to identify and reduce barriers to information and support services, increase communication and care coordination, improve service delivery competency, strengthen the referral process, and reduce the risk of re-traumatization for those affected by sexual misconduct. The organization is expanding its programs and services in spring 2023 to communities across Nova Scotia and to gender diverse people, including men.
