Did you know $150 funds an abuse prevention workshop on consent and healthy relationships? 📚

Here’s what some of our participants learned…

✍️“I learned that I don’t need to be scared to tell someone if something happens.” —Participant, aged 8

✍️“I learned that it is okay to tell a trustworthy adult if you feel weird. If the first adult you tell does not listen, tell another one.” —Participant, aged 9

✍️“It is okay to say no to someone that is doing something to you that you don’t like.” —Participant, aged 8

✍️“[I learned] not to ask why or pressure someone when they say ‘no’.” —Participant, aged 12

✍️“I learned that you don’t need to feel bad or explain why you said ‘no’.” —Participant, aged 13

🦺Each presentation is 30 youth learning how to build safer communities.
❤️‍🩹It’s 30 children learning that abuse is not okay.
🫶This Giving Season, your donation can change the culture.

International Day to End Violence Against S*x Workers ❤️‍🩹

At SSAIC, we recognize that s*x workers face disproportionately high levels of violence, with 32% to 55% experiencing s*xualized violence each year. Stigma often means survivors are disbelieved, blamed, or dismissed, and in Canada, unsolved homicides remain significantly higher when victims are s*x workers.

Criminalization and discrimination, especially toward racialized, migrant, and trans s*x workers, create dangerous barriers to safety, justice, and reporting.

The red umbrella stands as a symbol of resistance and solidarity in ending this violence.

Today, SSAIC honours those harmed or lost, and we stand with s*x workers in the ongoing fight against stigma, discrimination, and violence. ❤

To all those not looking forward to the holiday season, we see you, and we are here to support you. 🤍

For many survivors of s*xualized violence, including those who have experienced child s*xual abuse, home may not be a safe space. The holidays could mean spending more time with your perpetrator, being away from supportive friends, and feeling heightened fear and anxiety.

Please know that SSAIC and many other incredible organizations are here for you during this time. Our crisis line at 306-244-2224 is open 24/7, ready to offer support whenever you need it. ☎️

Here are a few tips from SSAIC for surviving the holiday season:

1. Keep your regular routine: A change in routine can add extra stress. Try to stick to your usual exercise schedule, attend regular meetings, and maintain a sense of normalcy and comfort. 🧘‍♀️📅

2. Reinforce boundaries: Be mindful of your boundaries and know your limits. Don’t feel obligated to do something just because it’s tradition. Listen to your feelings and honour your needs. ✋💛

3. Practice saying no: It’s okay to say no when you're asked to do more than you’re comfortable with. It’s okay to decline some invitations and say no to favours. Remember, this holiday is yours too! ❌

4. Be kind to yourself: If you're feeling down, prioritize self-care. Do what feels good and what YOU want to do. Whether you need rest, productivity, or socializing, honor your needs this season. 💆‍♀️🌿

5. Ask for help: Recovery from trauma is much easier with support. Whether it's a friend, family member, or SSAIC, we encourage you to reach out rather than face it alone. We are here for you. 🤝💜

As we prepare for 2026, we take time to reflect on participants’ key takeaways.

Swipe to see for yourself!

In lieu of presenting in schools with the goal of still being able to support youth and their families, we will be offering I'm the Boss of Me, and No is a Full Sentence sessions in the community after school hours.

Sessions will be about 60 minutes in length, and participation of youth will be contingent on your support.

I'm the Boss of Me will be open to all students aged 8 - 11 (approximately Grade 3 - 5), while No is a Full Sentence will be available to those 12 - 15 (approximately Grade 7 - 9) at a limited capacity.

Caregiver information sessions will also be offered in tandem with the youth sessions to better equip families in having these conversations and reinforcing these lessons in the home.

Find the QR codes on slide 6, or click the link in our bio to register you and your youth(s) for one of our upcoming sessions. You will receive an email confirmation from our team to confirm your registration. No preparation is required for these sessions.

If your looking for more information you can find all the essentials at ssaic.ca/public-ed/

We strongly believe in the life-saving content of our programs, and can’t wait to meet as many of you and your children as possible.

Today, on International Human Rights Day, we’re reminded that human rights are not abstract ideals, but everyday necessities.

Safety, dignity, and the freedom to live free from violence are rights that every person deserves.

💜 At SSAIC, we see firsthand how these rights are threatened when s*xualized violence occurs. In our current climate where survivors continue to face disbelief, barriers to support, and systems that don’t always protect them, honouring human rights means actively working to uphold them.

Human rights are not optional.

They are the foundation of a safe, just, and equitable society that includes the right to bodily autonomy, the right to safety, and the right to be believed and supported.

Today, we recommit to:
✨ Supporting survivors with compassion and care
✨ Advocating for systems that protect rather than harm
✨ Educating our communities to prevent s*xualized violence
✨ Standing up against discrimination, violence, and injustice

Human rights belong to all of us. Let’s work together to ensure they’re upheld, protected, and strengthened.

Today marks the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

A day established in response to the 1989 massacre at École Polytechnique in Montréal, where 14 women were killed in an act of violent misogyny.

Every year on December 6, we honour these women, acknowledge the ongoing impacts of gender-based violence in Canada, and recognize that this violence continues to disproportionately affect women, girls, and gender-diverse people.

At SSAIC, we use this day to remember the victims, support survivors, and reaffirm our commitment to prevention, education, and advocacy. Gender-based violence is not a tragedy of the past, it is a present and urgent issue that demands our collective action.

We remember. We grieve. We take action. 💔🕯️

If you’re in need of support, SSAIC’s 24/7 Crisis Line is always available: 306-244-2224 📞💛

If you need a safe place, Saskatoon Interval House provides shelter and support: 306-244-0185 🏠💜

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Saskatoon?

SSAIC Can’t Wait to go Out of Business!

75-80% of our clients experience s*xualized violence at the hands of someone they know and trust—a family member, a co-worker, a romantic partner…can you imagine the pain and confusion that causes?

As Saskatoon’s major service provider to victims and survivors of s*xual violence, we work with clients of all genders, races, religions, and romantic orientations to sort through the complex emotions of guilt, shame, and loss of self-esteem, in addition to life-altering consequences like dropping out of school, the inability to continue employment, and the loss of friends or family.

We don’t question the validity of a victim’s claims and we don’t push for the traumatic details. We let the client set the agenda and pace of their unique healing process.
