Survivor’s Hope Crisis Centre Inc. (SHCC) is a sexual assault and violence resource centre, serving those of all genders in the Interlake Eastern Region of Manitoba. SHCC provides inclusive support and sexual assault crisis intervention to survivors and those affected by sexualized violence through our Sexual Assault Recovery and Healing (SARAH) program, acts as an education resource for schools through our Sexual Assault Discussion Initiative (SADI) program, and engages community and service providers through our Reaching Out Program.

SHCC recognizes that acts of sexualized violence are motivated by power inequalities, and intolerance, hatred, or discrimination of a person’s identity including race, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, age, and social economic status. SHCC works on the principles of trauma-informed care, empowerment, diversity, inclusion, and cultural awareness.
