Sexual Assault Service Navigation ​


Who We Serve & What We Provide
ESSS’ Sexual Assault Services Navigation Program (SAS-N) provides information, support and referrals to any person who lives in the Langley communities and has experienced a sexual assault. Services are also available to non-offending family members. The objective of ESSS’ Sexual Assault Services Navigation Program is to provide culturally safe, client-centered, and trauma-informed coordination services to participants. This program offers free, confidential support to survivors of any age and any gender, including those who have experienced historical sexual assaults, regardless of whether they have reported the sexual assault to the police or other authorities. Referrals to this program can come from any source, including self-referrals.

The Sexual Assault Services Navigation Program services include crisis response, information and support, safety planning, third party reporting, service coordination and referrals as well as community outreach and engagement. The service provider may prioritize the delivery of services based on individual participant’s needs having consideration for safety, participant vulnerability, type of crime, and the immediate response required due to the injury or injuries sustained from the sexual assault. 
Who is Eligible for Service​
  • Any person (regardless of age or gender) who has experienced a sexual assault, including historical sexual assaults, and who lives in the Langley and Aldergrove communities.
  • The sexual assault does not have to be reported to police in order to be eligible for services (although exceptions to confidentiality may apply and will be reviewed with you on a separate form).
  • Children in contact with alleged offenders are eligible for service if their safety is assured.
  • Participants who are involved in a case before the courts are eligible for SAS-N services.
  • Children and youth may be eligible for SAS-N services without parental consent under the provisions of section 17 of the Infants Act.
