Sexualized Violence Prevention and Response
You are not alone
The Sexualized Violence Prevention and Response office delivers educational opportunities to members of the TRU community, supports the ongoing implementation of BRD 25-0 and provides direct support to victims/survivors of sexualized and intimate partner violence.
Support is available to all TRU faculty, staff, and students, inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations. We operate as a hybrid office, offering both in-person and virtual appointments for members of the Kamloops and Williams Lake campuses as well as online learners. During appointments you are also welcome to bring a support person to any meeting. Whether the experience is historical or recent, a wide variety of supports are available:
- Support through reporting processes if desired
- Connection to campus and community resources
- Support to those providing care to victim/survivors
- Emotional support and safety planning
- Academic accommodations and emergency housing
- Information about reporting options
Disclosure
Notify SVPR of a disclosure. Please note: Policy BRD 25-0 requires all faculty and staff who receive a disclosure to notify SVPR staff. This allows SVPR staff to support victims/survivors as well as members of the TRU community who are providing care and response to those victims/survivors, and to collect relevant data on the issue.
