To all our clients and community members:

Due to the changes in social isolation, SAFFRON has made the decision to move to online video or phone call sessions with our clients effective Monday, March 23. We will also be providing groups in this format as well as uploading content from our Public Education Department. This policy is to keep you, your community, and our therapist healthy. We will monitor the situation as it changes and will reopen for face to face sessions as soon as it is deemed safe to do so. Administration will be available for phone calls and intakes between 9am-4pm, Monday to Friday. We are still taking on new clients and are able to offer support and referrals to other agencies when required.

Stay safe and healthy friends. We can't wait to welcome you to our centre again soon.

Love SAFFRON Staff and Board.

COUNSELLING

Saffron Centre recognizes that effective therapy looks not only at the surface of the problem, but the underlying individual, intrapersonal, familial, social, and cultural issues. We work at providing outstanding service and care to victims of:

• Recent or historical sexual assault and sexual abuse

• Sexual violence including sexual exploitation

• Childhood sexual assault and/or abuse

• PTSD as a result of sexual trauma

​

Counselling services are also provided to caregivers and supporters of those who've experienced sexual assault, sexual abuse, or sexual violence.

​

PUBLIC EDUCATION

Our Public Education program provides educational and informative presentations for children starting in kindergarten up to Grade 12. We also provide university, parent and caregiver, and professional presentations. Our goal is to prevent sexual violence through community involvement. 

POLICE AND COURT SUPPORT

The goal of this program is to provide support to those that are wanting to engage in the judicial process. We offer support in reporting to police, court preparation and accompaniment. Information and assistance is also available for applying for Financial Benefits and Restitution and writing Victim Impact Statements.

Sometimes when you're in a dark place, you think you have been buried but you have been planted.

Bloom.
