Resources for Survivors
SALA’s lawyers across Canada have deep roots in our local communities and have spent years developing networks of support for sexual abuse survivors. We believe strongly in the inherent value of these resources as we journey together towards justice.
We regularly review and update these resources. If there’s something you think we should add, please get in touch.
