Getting Help After Experiencing GBSV

We're here to help. As the survivor, you decide what's next.

Getting Support

The Gender-Based Violence & Survivor Support Case Manager is there to connect survivors with resources and support, regardless of whether a formal complaint is submitted. 

You can reach out via email at support@uwo.ca, or by completing the self-referral form below.

 

Disclosing

A disclosure is the sharing of information by a Survivor with a Member of the University Community concerning an incident of Gender-Based and Sexual Violence.

This may or may not be for the purpose of accessing supports, services, and/or accommodations.

 

Making a formal complaint

Disclosure does not result in a formal complaint being made.
The decision to make a disclosure and that of filing a non-criminal complaint with the University are separate decisions to be made by a survivor.

They are not required to participate in an investigation by the University.
