Sexual Violence Resources and Support

NBCC students on the Fredericton campus have access to Campus Sexual Assault Support Advocate (CSASA) Megen Gaudet, who provides support to survivors of sexual violence. This goes beyond providing resources and allows survivors to develop a personal connection with someone and find a safe place to feel heard, believed, and validated while they work to explore available options.

Megen can offer trauma-specific counselling as well as help report an incident, arrange accommodations, seek medical help and much more.
