Gender-Based Violence 24-Hour Crisis Lines
With funding from Women and Gender Equality Canada, Salal Sexual Violence Support Centre and The Indian Residential School Survivors Society (IRSSS) have been contracted by the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General to operate 24-hour Gender-Based Violence Crisis Lines to support victims across British Columbia.
Both gender-based violence crisis lines offer specialized supports to victims of gender-based violence that are culturally-safe and trauma informed. This includes risk assessment, safety planning, emotional support, information, resources, and referrals. IRSSS’ crisis line provides specialized supports to Indigenous victims of gender-based violence.
These specialized gender-based violence crisis lines work in collaboration with and complement the services offered by VictimLinkBC, which serves victims of all types of crime.
