Hope 24/7 is a non-profit organization that offers counselling services for all persons 12 & older who have been impacted by relationship & sexual violence. We are the provincially designated Sexual Assault Centre (SAC) for the Region of Peel, and serve a population of more than 1.4 million people. Since 1993, our aim is to assist those individuals who have experienced traumatic interpersonal violence, and to provide violence prevention programming so that we can actualize our vision of a community without relationship and sexual violence. The Agency operates from a feminist, trauma-informed position, meaning that we understand that there are systemic barriers that magnify the intensity and impacts of gender-based violence. The Agency approaches its clients from the perspective that they have experienced traumatic events that have impacted their physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual beliefs; and for some individuals, the trauma distorts how they see themselves and the world in fundamental ways. Through evidence-based treatment and prevention programming, individuals who have experienced trauma can resume happy, healthy lives. Hope 24/7 is committed to providing such interventions.
