Next Steps

Sexual violence counselling, support, education

Next Steps, previously known as Sexual Assault Counselling, provides free specialized counselling for women, men, youth and children who have been victims of sexual violence and/or sexual abuse. The program is also available to those who offer support to victims of sexual violence. 


Next Steps also delivers presentations to enhance community awareness, education and prevention of sexual violence.


Sexual violence is forced participation in any type of sexual activity. It can range from unwanted kissing or touching to forced sexual intercourse. Sexual violence is an act of power and control. It is a crime and the offender is responsible for the behaviour.


Sexual violence can happen to individuals regardless of their gender, age, race, religion, sexual orientation, financial status or knowledge of sexual abuse. It impacts family members and friends, as well as our community. 


Everyone reacts differently after an event of sexual violence. Some individuals experience shock, denial, fear, anger, depression, shame, and self blame. All these reactions are normal.


Counselling and therapy may help to lessen these effects and help the survivor realize that the sexual violence is not their fault. Healing can be a challenging process. It is possible to transform from victim to survivor.


Next Steps does more than counsel victims of sexual violence. The program involves many other aspects including:

  • Counselling for the family and their supportive friends of victims;
  • Providing education about sexual violence;
  • Providing prevention education presentations to the community to enhance awareness of sexual violence;
  • Emphasizing that only Yes means Yes;
  • Creating an understanding of what sexual violence is;
  • The issues of consent;
  • Identifying dating violence;
  • Identifying sexual harassment;
  • Recognizing sexual violence within marriage.

Kids Safety video series

Sexual Assault Outreach wants your children to feel safe, self-reliant, and grounded during this time. With children home from school, greater accessibility to Internet usage, and fears and anxieties presenting themselves, this program was designed to help your kids feel empowered and safe. 


The Kids Safety series consists of four short videos (under 15 minutes) for children K to 12 years old.


See the videos and supporting resource material. 


Kids Safety's fun, conversational style allows kids to learn some basics safety concepts, and can be used as great conversation starters at home. We also provide a Certificate of Completion where their name can be added to indicate they have completed the series. We want children and youth to feel proud they invested time in themselves for safety.
