Our Centre is available to current students, staff, faculty, and librarians at the University of Toronto.
We welcome clients of all gender identities, expressions, and sexualities, and recognize that sexual violence can occur between people of any gender.
Furthermore, we recognize that systemic inequity and stigma can increase the risk of experiencing sexual violence and harassment, making some individuals both more likely to experience violence and less likely to feel safe seeking-out support. This includes the discrimination experienced by Black, Indigenous, and other racialized people, newcomers and those without legal immigration status, 2SLGBTQ+ folks, those with lived experience of homelessness, and those engaged in precarious work, including sex work.
The SVPS Centre is a trauma-informed, supportive space for people of all identities, and anyone who meets with us will be greeted by our highly skilled and compassionate team.

(all locations – leave a voicemail and we will call you back)
Our team is available to respond from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. ET, Monday to Friday. If you call during a time when we are away from the phone, busy on another call, or after hours, you will be asked to leave a voicemail.
When leaving us a voicemail, you do not need to provide many details. We need your first name, a number where we can reach you, and a preferred time for us to call you. We also need to know whether we can leave you a voicemail if you do not answer our call. We recognize that not all voicemails are private. If we do not have your explicit permission to leave a voicemail, we will not leave one. We will call you back at another time.
