Sexual and gender-based violence is an issue that impacts everyone. If you, or someone you know, have experienced violence or harm, there are supports available to you.
*All services are free and open to Trent students of all genders and diverse lived experiences.*
The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Team is responsible for education around consent, empowerment, and raising awareness about sexual and gender-based violence, as well as providing compassionate support and trauma-informed care. Please visit the "meet the team tab" to learn more about the team of empowered individuals who are aiding in building a culture of consent, on and off campus.
The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response (SVPR) Team provides:
Personal support
Have you experienced sexual and/or gender-based violence? Whether it was recent or in the past, you have a place here at Trent to be heard and supported.
You will receive confidential, and compassionate support. We can work on alleviating distress, talk about coping skills, and enhance your overall wellness. Learn about your options for on and off-campus resources, and support to access them.
To connect for support email consent@trentu.ca or call us at (705) 748-1011 x7792.
Organizational support
Do you have a student group on campus? Would you like to have a discussion on topics related to sexual and gender-based violence and/or consent?
The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Team can attend your meeting or create a workshop just for your group. Your group can host a facilitated discussion, learn a skill like how to support a friend in need, or have an information session.
Educational support
Do you want to learn about self-care, boundaries, and empowerment?
Workshops will be facilitated throughout the year. See our upcoming events page or follow us on Instagram @consentattrent.
If you have another idea or a suggestion of something you would like to see, contact us at consent@trentu.ca
All services are free and open to Trent students of all genders and diverse lived experiences.
