Thank you to our long-time referral partner, Third Place Transition House, and all other agencies in our community who work tirelessly to address the epidemic of intimate partner violence within our province.

Domestic violence and sexual violence are deeply connected forms of harm, both rooted in power and control. In Nova Scotia, where rates of intimate partner violence remain among the highest in the country, we can’t address one without naming the other. Every act of coercion, fear, or violation stems from the same attempt to take away another person’s safety and autonomy. Real change begins when we stop separating these experiences and confront the full reality of violence in our communities.

November is Domestic Violence Awareness Month in Canada. Throughout this month, communities across Nova Scotia take part in the Purple Ribbon Campaign and the 16 Days of Activism, coming together to raise awareness, learn, and take action to end violence.

At THANS, this work continues every day as we support our members and prevention efforts across the province.

Stay tuned for information about community events, campaigns, and learning opportunities happening across Nova Scotia this month. 💜

We want to take a moment to thank our community for your patience and understanding. It’s been a busy season of transition and growth for our Centre. Right now, our small but mighty team is focused on delivering our core programming and therapy services while we rebuild internal capacity.

As a result, response times for general inquiries and outreach may take a little longer than usual. We know this can be frustrating, and we deeply appreciate your patience and continued support as we work to strengthen our operations for the long term.

For intake related inquiries - our clinical therapy team has space available and is ready to help. If you’re trying to get in touch or need assistance, please email director@colchestersac.ca or text 902-897-4366 directly - this ensures your message reaches us as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your support as we continue to provide vital, trauma-informed support for people impacted by sexual violence in Colchester County and beyond.

At this time, our services remain appointment-based and primarily virtual. While we are not a crisis service, we are here to provide on-going therapeutic support and a safe place for healing. If you wish to meet in person with our Executive Director, tour the Centre, or access our resource library, please email director@colchestersac.ca.
