OXFORD COUNTY - The Oxford County Community Health Centre is rolling out a new program to support victims of Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence.
In the past, residents would've had to travel to London to access these services, but the new partnership with St. Joseph’s Health Care will provide services on-site at OCCHC. The program will be spearheaded by the Regional Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Treatment Program.
The program is committed to improving access to support services and providing survivors a safe space to find the care they need. Services and support that will be offered include risk management, case management, counselling, psychotherapy, and advocacy.
Sexual Assault Therapist and Program Coordinator Laura McCreery explained that they are trying to eliminate the biggest barrier for victims of assault, easy access to resources.
"Barriers around travel and transportation have prevented many from accessing the supports and care they require at a time of significant urgency. Bringing services closer to home is an important step toward improving access for Oxford County residents. This innovative partnership with St. Joseph’s also serves as a potential model for other communities across the province facing similar barriers."
The collaboration will work together with existing programs already being provided by Oxford Sexual Assault Services.
