Sexual Assault Centre Kingston

Pronouns matter! Below is a great site on why! "Often, people make assumptions about the gender of another person based on the person’s appearance or name. These assumptions aren’t always correct, and the act of making an assumption (even if correct) sends a potentially harmful message -- that people have to look a certain way to demonstrate the gender that they are or are not." https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/

Check out the Virtual Youth Programming line up for next week. We have programs running Tuesday (Stress Busters), Wednesday (Let's Get Moving!), and Thursday (F...oodie Fun) after school next week, and there's a little something for everyone. There's still time to register, contact Victoria now to get your spot in any or all of these free and fun programs. See the posters for more information on each of them :) See more

As cases increase within #YGK and throughout KFL&A, we are reminding clients that if you if you are feeling unwell, have been in close contact with someone diagnosed with Covid-19 or been to a business or agency with a confirmed outbreak, to please self-isolate and get tested. Please do not come to the centre if any of the above applies to you. We want to keep you, our staff and our community safe and we must work together. We can offer distance counselling and support via other means so that your counselling is not interrupted. We will still be here for you....6ft away....with masks on!

Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender people whose lives have been lost to anti-transgender violence this year and in the past.
