Sexual Assault

Sexual assault support and resources

Campus sexual assault support advocates

A Campus Sexual Assault Support Advocate (CSASA) is specially trained to support students who have experienced sexual violence. They can offer trauma-specific counselling as well as help you report an incident, arrange accommodations, seek medical help and much more.

If someone discloses to you that they have been sexually assaulted, follow our guidelines on providing support.

The CSASA offers support to survivors of sexual violence goes beyond providing resources – it means developing a personal connection and creating a safe place where survivors feel heard, believed and validated as they work together to explore options that best meet the survivor’s needs.

The CSASA office is located on the 2nd floor of CC Jones Student Services Centre, and they are available to those affected by sexual violence during their university careers.

In partnership with Sexual Violence New Brunswick (SVNB), the CSASA brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to UNB in supporting individuals who have been impacted by sexual assault as well as enhancing the response and prevention of sexual violence in our communities.
