Community Support Available for Survivors of Sexual Violence

PRESS RELEASE

Recent Headlines May Bring Up Memories: Community Support Available for Survivors of Sexual Violence

Pembroke, ON – July 24, 2025

In response to recent media coverage of a sexual assault case in the region, the Renfrew County Sexual Assault and Rape Crisis Support Centre, (also known as the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre), is reaching out to remind the community that, no one needs to suffer alone. The emotional impact of these stories may be triggering for survivors of both recent and historical sexual violence. Wherever and whenever it occurred—what happened was not your fault.

At the Centre we are about creating space, sharing strength, and reminding survivors they’re never alone. We are here to listen, to support, and to stand with our community.

If you, or someone you know, has been affected—whether directly or indirectly—support is available. Feel free to contact the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre of Renfrew County. It helps to talk—and to be believed.

We See You, We hear You, We Believe You.

Centre Director
