Sexual Violence Support & Resources
St. Thomas University students have access to Sexual Violence Support Advocate Megen Gaudet who offers support to survivors of sexual violence. This goes beyond providing resources and allows survivors to develop a personal connection with someone and find a safe place to feel heard, believed, and validated while they work to explore options available to survivors.
The CSASA office is located on the second floor of C.C. Jones Student Services Centre on the University of New Brunswick Fredericton campus, and they are available by appointment. For more information or to make a referral for your self or someone else, please contact:

Serving the STU community, in partnership with Sexual Violence New Brunswick (SVNB), Megen brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to STU in supporting individuals who have been impacted by sexual assault as well as enhancing the response and prevention of sexual violence in our communities.
Since 2016, Sexual Violence New Brunswick (SVNB) has worked in collaboration with partners from STU, UNB, and NBCC to implement a tri-campus sexual assault strategy that focuses on areas of Counselling and Advocacy, Prevention and Awareness, Education, and Policy Development. This multi-faceted approach is coordinated by the CSASAs but is fulfilled by many team members of SVNB. In May 2020, the tri-campus partners signed an agreement with SVNB to continue offering services for an additional five years.

Support Grows Here
The goal of this film is to show the journey of support seeking that follows an experience of intimate partner sexual violence and the ways we, as potential supports, can make meaningful change for those who have experienced trauma.
