Help & Support

If you or someone you know has been impacted by sexual exploitation, help is available.

Support services offer confidential assistance, including counselling, safety planning, and connection to community resources. It is important to reach out to trusted professionals or organizations specializing in this area to access the support you need.

You are not alone, and there are people ready to listen, help you heal, and guide you towards safety and recovery.

If a child is in immediate risk or danger, call 9-1-1.
