SFU Counselling
The Sexual Violence Support & Prevention Office works closely with SFU’s Health & Counselling Services to offer specialized counselling supports for SFU and FIC students who have been impacted by sexualized violence and intimate partner violence.
Personal Counselling
SFU and FIC students who have experienced sexualized violence or intimate partner violence may access free, confidential, time-limited support from a counsellor who specializes in sexualized violence and other forms of trauma.
To access specialized personal counselling, please connect with an SVSPO Case Manager or contact Health and Counselling Services directly.
Group Counselling
Understanding Trauma
Learn about the impact of trauma and how it may affect you or someone you know. It is intended for individuals who are dealing with the aftermath of trauma, as well as those who support someone in this situation. The seminar has been developed to offer practical insights into various types of trauma and their impact. Its objective is to assist participants in identifying common symptoms, providing them with fundamental self-help techniques, and offering information on where to seek additional support. This seminar is offered as a hybrid in-person and online seminar to allow for maximum accessibility.
Nurturing Resilience
An open weekly support group for individuals of any gender identities who have experienced any form of sexualized violence. Participants may expect to learn about trauma and recovery, coping skills, and emotion regulation. A caring, compassionate and safe space will be held and created for the weekly sessions and discussions. Participants will also have an opportunity to build connections with others and gain support from a counsellor.
