Our first round of community sessions was a success!

What we enjoy most about getting out into the community is hearing directly from children and youth about what resonated with them, and how they plan to carry those lessons forward.

➡Swipe to see for yourself!

In lieu of presenting in schools with the goal of still being able to support youth and their families, we will be offering I'm the Boss of Me, and No is a Full Sentence sessions in the community after school hours.

Sessions will be about 60 minutes in length, and participation of youth will be contingent on your support.

I'm the Boss of Me will be open to all students aged 8 - 11 (approximately Grade 3 - 5), while No is a Full Sentence will be available to those 12 - 15 (approximately Grade 7 - 9) at a limited capacity.

Caregiver information sessions will also be offered in tandem with the youth sessions to better equip families in having these conversations and reinforcing these lessons in the home.

Find the QR codes on slide 6, or click the link in our bio to register you and your youth(s) for one of our upcoming sessions. You will receive an email confirmation from our team to confirm your registration. No preparation is required for these sessions.

If your looking for more information you can find all the essentials at ssaic.ca/public-ed/

We strongly believe in the life-saving content of our programs, and can’t wait to meet as many of you and your children as possible.

Our goal is to inspire participants to think critically about their online environments and recognize the real-world consequences of digital interactions.

In honour of coming to an end, SSAIC thought there would be no better way to mark it than by sharing some of our favorite tools for empowering children and their caregivers against child sexual abuse.

First and foremost, it’s important to emphasize that abuse is never the fault of the child or the caregiver. Children should never have to prevent abuse in the first place. That said, we know sexual abuse does occur, and children are often the most vulnerable. No matter the circumstances, we believe these tips and tools for empowerment are essential for keeping children safe and supported.

When media turns trauma into entertainment, it tells survivors that their pain is disposable.

For years, countless shows and movies have used sexualized violence as a plot device, a quick way to add drama or tension. These portrayals send a dangerous message: that sexual violence is just something that “happens,” an inevitable event with no lasting impact or accountability.

⚠️Depictions like these can be deeply harmful. They feed into toxic cultural beliefs, fuel victim-blaming, and contribute to the normalization and desensitization of violence.

Survivors, and society as a whole deserve stories that hold space for truth, accountability, and healing, not ones that exploit trauma for entertainment or views.

💜To survivors: it was never your job to hold space for, or question your own experience because of these depictions. Survivors deserve to be seen and heard. Your experience was not inevitable, and no one should ever have to feel that way about sexualized violence.

📞If you’re ever feeling triggered or just need someone to talk to, you can always call SSAIC’s crisis line at 306-244-2224.

We see you, we’re here for you, and we believe you.

📍Disclaimer: Every survivor’s response to media is valid. Some may find comfort or understanding in these depictions, while others may feel triggered, both are okay. Take care of yourself and engage only in what feels safe for you. 💜

It's International Pronouns Day!

A significant day that highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting an individual's pronouns.

In English, our most frequently used pronouns (he/she) are closely linked to gender. For q***r, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and transgender individuals, these pronouns might not align with their identity, potentially causing discomfort, stress, and anxiety.

To empathize, consider your own pronouns. Now imagine someone calling you the one you don’t think of yourself as, even after you’ve corrected them, over and over again.

Using the correct pronouns is fundamental to respecting someone's identity and ensuring their safety.

One small tip to practice today and moving forward: instead of asking someone what their "preferred" pronouns are, simply ask them what their pronouns are. Pronouns aren't preferred, they just are.

If you're looking for some more information about pronouns and why they matter, take a look at our "Pronouns" webpage under "About Us", or visit OUT Saskatoon's website!

Bodily autonomy means having the right to make choices about your own body!

Free from pressure, fear, or control.

Sexualized violence is a violation of that right.

Everyone deserves safety, respect, and the power to decide what happens to their body. 💜

If you’ve experienced sexualized violence, we’re so sorry. You are not alone, and SSAIC is here for you. 💜
For counselling support, call our office at 306-244-2294, or reach out anytime to our 24/7 crisis line at 306-244-2224.

10/13/2025

SSAIC will be closed on Monday, October 13th to take in pumpkin pies, cozy time with loved ones, and R&R. We will be back in office Tuesday morning, October 14th, at 9am.

Should you need some support today, our crisis line will be available all day at 306-244-2224.

Have a great long weekend, and remember: you are worthwhile and loved. 🧡❤️

Now is the time to listen, support, and encourage steps toward a brighter, more inclusive future for girls everywhere. ✊💛

October 11th represents the International Day of the Girl Child.

Girls continue to bear the brunt of global challenges such as conflict, violence, and poverty. These issues often impede their access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.

By amplifying girls' voices and visions, we can foster an environment where they are empowered to shape their own futures and contribute to a world in which they believe in.

Ways to get involved in IDOTG:
- Share stories, blogs, and videos of girl changemakers
- Engage your government officials, policymakers and stakeholders to tackle inequalities experienced by girls
- Engage key female influencers across industries to be the face of change
- Amplify your commitment by raising awareness and sharing this post

Girls are ready for a decade of acceleration forward. It is time for us all to stand accountable – with and for girls – and to invest in a future that believes in their agency, leadership and potential.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Saskatoon?

SSAIC Can’t Wait to go Out of Business!

75-80% of our clients experience sexualized violence at the hands of someone they know and trust—a family member, a co-worker, a romantic partner…can you imagine the pain and confusion that causes?

As Saskatoon’s major service provider to victims and survivors of sexual violence, we work with clients of all genders, races, religions, and romantic orientations to sort through the complex emotions of guilt, shame, and loss of self-esteem, in addition to life-altering consequences like dropping out of school, the inability to continue employment, and the loss of friends or family.

We don’t question the validity of a victim’s claims and we don’t push for the traumatic details. We let the client set the agenda and pace of their unique healing process.
