How the SVSPO Can Help

We offer free, confidential support for all SFU and FIC community members (students and employees) who have experienced sexual violence. We also assist students and employees who have witnessed sexual violence or who are providing support to someone else.

To access the SVSPO’s support services:

  • It does not matter when or where the sexual violence occurred.
  • A report is not required or expected.

How to contact us

Our Case Managers are available Monday-Friday, 9am-4:30pm (excluding statutory holidays).
