March is Social Work Month💙

At SSAIC, we are proud that more than half of our staff hold a Bachelor of Social Work. Their expertise allows us to support survivors of sexualized violence through an anti-oppressive, holistic approach rooted in a feminist, trauma-informed, and survivor-centered framework.

Their commitment and compassion shape SSAIC into the organization it is today.

March is a time to recognize and appreciate the individuals whose work is dedicated to acknowledging, supporting, and advocating for the well-being of others.

Social workers provide essential services in countless areas, supporting individuals in their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Their work extends beyond individual care to addressing broader social issues such as oppression, discrimination, domestic violence, unemployment, and poverty.

As of 2018, there were approximately 52,823 social workers in Canada. This profession carries immense responsibility, and SSAIC deeply appreciates the dedication and impact of social workers in our communities.

If you’re a social worker looking for resources or events, visit the Canadian Association of Social Workers (CASW) at www.casw-acts.ca. For local events and news, explore the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers (SASW) at www.sasw.ca.

We talk about r*pe myths a lot on this page, and this has to be one of the worst offenders.

Consent is not the absence of a "no".

Consent isn't even always just a "yes".

We know there are ~so many reasons~ why someone might say not explicitly say "no" (e.g. coercion, manipulation, obligation, guilt, threats, blackmail, violence, fear...), and it is EVERYONE'S responsibility to ensure freely given, enthusiastic consent.

Not sure what that looks like? Check out our Learning & Resources tabs at ssaic.ca to learn more, or give us a call at 306-244-2294 to get some clarity.

(Psst...we also do trainings for teachers, youth care workers, mental health workers, university students, and other types of professionals that may need to discuss consent in their work...call to inquire!)

SSAIC recognizes Pink Shirt Day as an opportunity to raise awareness and support for anti-bullying initiatives.

In our youth presentations on abuse, whether physical, emotional, sexual, or cyber, comparisons to bullying often arise. Although bullying and abuse differ in specifics, they share a common intent.

Both abuse and bullying involve power and control, actions that harm another person physically or emotionally, and an imbalance of power between the target and the individual exhibiting negative behavior.

At SSAIC, we believe in preventing abuse, and a crucial part of that journey is education. By raising awareness about anti-bullying, youth learn not only to stand up for themselves but also to create safer environments, respect boundaries, and feel empowered knowing they have support.

The same applies to abuse. When youth recognize warning signs, they can understand that the behavior is wrong and feel confident in seeking help. This knowledge also helps prevent them from unintentionally or intentionally becoming perpetrators of abuse themselves.

Let us continue to recognize days like Pink Shirt Day and work toward a kinder, more inclusive world by supporting and raising awareness for anti-bullying initiatives.

Check out Pink Shirt Days website at pinkshirtday.ca to find resources and learn how to get involved.

Consent doesn’t disappear just because something is digital. 📱

The harm is real.
The violation is real.
And the people whose autonomy is being taken are real.

S*xualized deepfakes are a rapidly growing form of sexualized violence. AI and digital editing tools have made this type of harm easier to create and distribute than ever before.

An alarming example is the AI chatbot Grok built into Elon Musk’s X platform, following new analysis, Grok generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images of women and children in just 11 days. (news.mcmaster.ca)

Creating these images stem from violence, they are made to to exploit, profit, control, humiliate and cause harm. ⚠️

Technology is evolving and so must our prevention efforts. We must hold platforms and users accountable. We can not continue to ignore sexualized violence and gender-based violence in any form.✊

If you have been impacted by digital or in-person sexualized violence, SSAIC is here for you. Counselling support is available, call our office at 306-244-2294 to book an appointment. 🤍

Everyone is deserving of digital safety and autonomy. 💜

S*xual health is for everyone. 🙌

Just like our physical health and mental health, sexual health is an important aspect of our overall well-being.

It’s connected to more than just pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections – sexual health includes things like how we feel about our bodies, consent, social relationships, pleasure, who we’re attracted to, and more!

At SSAIC, we deeply believe that sexual health and violence prevention education is critical to build a safer (and ultimately less traumatized) society. After being banned from classrooms this year, we feel and hear this need from families and educators in Saskatoon now more than ever before.

S*xual Health Week is a moment for Canada’s sexual health movement to get together and show just how many of us care about our sexual health and relationships. It’s a chance to get loud, and to celebrate the amazing work being done in our communities. By raising our voices, we can make everyone in Canada hear that sexual health matters to all of us!

You can participate by:
• Talking openly about sexual health education
• Contacting your local government officials and asking them to publicly support comprehensive sexual health care and education
• Reaching out to your local sexual health organization or health provider to ask how you can support their work

For more information, visit or continue learning about sexual health in your own community.

SSAIC Can’t Wait to go Out of Business!

75-80% of our clients experience sexualized 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 sexual 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.
