Our services are free and confidential; we put your needs first.

SSAIC offers individual and group counselling services to survivors of sexualized violence in Saskatoon and the surrounding area, as well as a limited number of sessions for family, friends, spouses, or other support people of survivors.

If you are in the midst of a mental health emergency, connect with our 24-Hour Crisis Line for support, next steps, and appropriate referrals.

SSAIC also offers group counselling for survivors of sexualized violence. See our group counselling page for more information about each of the groups we offer and how to register.

• Parents of survivors of sexualized violence
• Individuals who have been affected by the sexualized violence of family, friends, and loved ones
• 2SLGBTQ+ survivors of sexualized violence
• Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse
• Male identified folks who are survivors of sexualized violence in childhood or as an adult

Residential School & Intergenerational Trauma

We recognize that the legacy of the Canadian Residential School System has created long-lasting impacts of intergenerational trauma. Our crisis line and counselling services are conscious of these impacts and work to be mindful during your trauma healing. Our building has a smudging room as an option before or after counselling services; simply ask your counsellor to use this service.

Hope for Wellness offers immediate mental health counselling and crisis intervention to all Indigenous peoples across Canada; you can request phone support in Cree, Ojibway, and Inuktitut languages.

If you are looking for educational resources or materials to better understand the legacy of the residential school system, please visit Legacy of Hope.
