pixie Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 some reading you can do on the legal system: WOMEN AND VIOLENCE BY: KATHLEEN GALLIVAN AND SUSAN BAZILLI; METRO ACTION COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN (METRAC) 158 Spadina Rd., Toronto, Ontario M5R 2T8 CANADA CONTENTS: "This guide provides information about each step of the criminal process, from the option of reporting a sexual assault to the police, through sentencing, to appeals of a trial verdict. This guide does not pretend to advise women about whether they should report sexual assault or enter the system. What if does hope to do is provide some idea of the hazards and hurdles that will be experienced at each and every step . . ."

Healing_Canadian Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks for posting these resources. I ended up using the sexual assault phone number located in the front of my phone book for my area. I ended up with free couselling for approximately two years or more. I just finished and can go back when I want for some follow up or support. It was really hard to reach out at first because then someone else knew. It really does get easier. Especially once you've released that anger, bitterness and resentment. thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I came across this site the other day http://littlewarriors.ca/ They educate groups about sexual violence and their goal is to open a treatment facility for young children who have experienced abuse. The focus is to address mental health issues resulting from abuse. It also includes a listing of resources by region throughout Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
