NL Sexual Assault Crisis and Prevention Centre

Purpose

The Canopy Project consists of counselling sessions, mentorship with a trained volunteer over a 6 to 12-month period, and an opportunity to participate in a 12-week support group to address the need for short- and long-term support. This project will include trained personnel who offer a safe, structured, and nurturing environment in which to learn new skills and to begin to resolve the trauma of sexual misconduct. Services will be available to those affected by sexual misconduct in the Defence community, and will be offered in English, French, American Sign Language, and other languages as required.
