How the SVSPO Can Help

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

To access the SVSPO’s support services:

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

Here are some of the ways we can help:

• Referrals to on- and off-campus support services and resources as needed
• Help with academic concessions or workplace accommodations at SFU or FIC
• Information on reporting options available to you and assistance with accessing these options
• Information about personal privacy and confidentiality
• Personalized safety planning
• Help navigating court processes, if needed
• Transportation to the hospital, police or other emergency services
• Information packages for you or a peer who has experienced sexualized violence
• We also provide support and advice for students who have been named in an incident of sexualized violence. See Resources for Respondents.

Support is available in multiple ways: in-person on any of SFU's three campuses or by phone, email, text, or Zoom. No matter where you are located, our case managers can support you.
