CURRENT PROJECTS

 

The Sexual Violence Outreach Program is currently working on a number of projects to help serve Cumberland County. 

​

1) One project that is currently underway is the development of Sexual Violence Navigation Tools. Cumberland's Inter-Agency Committee on Family and Sexual Violence are meeting regularly to develop resources that will help coordinate sexual violence services in the County, as well as provide information to victims/survivors about where they can access support.

​

2) the Sexual Violence Outreach Program is working on developing Infographics that will provide clear, concise information about where victims/survivors can access support following an assault. Posters will be located throughout Cumberland County.

​

3) Planning will soon be underway for Sexual Assault Awareness Month (April 2018). If you or your organization would like to be involved in planning or attending events/workshops, contact us.

PAST PROJECTS

​

1) In April 2017, the Sexual Violence Outreach Program, the Sexual Health Centre for Cumberland County and Maggie's Place Family Resource Centre worked together to deliver a two-day consent workshop to an after-school program for girls. During the workshop, we had conversations about consent, and the girls developed a stop-motion movie on this topic.

​

2) The SVOW participated in an Auditing Panel with the Amherst Police Department, to review "Unfounded" cases from past 5 years. You can read more about this initiative here.

​

3) Collaboration with NSCC's LPN and Social Services Programs - a total of 4 students have worked with the SVOW as part of their school placements.
