Sexual Assault and Sexual Violence Support
Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber take a survivor-led approach while balancing the needs of the survivor with the need to protect the community. If you or anyone you know needs support in either an emergency and non-emergency situation, there are resources available for you.
Take a stand against sexual violence and learn about consent, how to ask for consent, consent myths, and the Consent Peer Education Program (CPEP).
It Takes All of Us is a sexual violence prevention and education training module that teaches participants about sexual violence, consent, bystander intervention, and supporting survivors. All UofGH students will be enrolled in the Sexual Violence Support Module course in CourseLink by September 1.
