| 1. | Your SAFETY is the first, most important thing to think about after sexual assault. You can immediately call 911 and say “I’ve been sexually assaulted.” If the assailant is still nearby and threatening or aggressive, this may be the best way to CARE for yourself immediately after the assault. You can also call 911 if you feel like you have been injured or need emergency medical attention for any reason. If you are at your residence or home, lock the door. If you are away from your residence or home, get to a safe place. |

It is important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to feel after a sexual assault. Some common reactions are shame, anger, fear, shock, denial (it was no big deal), flashbacks, embarrassment and powerlessness. How YOU feel is OK. This is about you. This is not about how anyone else thinks you should be or feel.. You may want to talk to someone without giving your name. SHARE will listen. You can also get completely anonymous, caring, supportive and confidential advice by calling a helpline. The Fredericton Sexual Assault Crisis Line is 506 454 0437 (call collect). You can also call the CHIMO provincial helpline at 1-800-667-5005 (toll free). |
||
| 3. | Many SOLUTIONS exist to help you after sexual assault. | |
One solution is seeking emergency medical treatment. SHARE will accompany any student to the hospital where you can be checked and treated for injuries, STIs (sexually transmitted infections) and pregnancy. You may also be offered an opportunity to make a report to police. If you do involve the police, hospital staff can collect evidence during your medical examination. |
||
| SACKVILLE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL | ||
Your HEALTH MATTERS after sexual assault. Victims of sexual assault may seek trauma/emergency services at the Sackville Memorial Hospital at the corner of Main Street and Queen’s Road. In most cases, sexual assault victims presenting at Sackville who do not need immediate treatment for injuries will be referred to the Moncton City Hospital to receive services from the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programme. http://www.serha.ca/moncton_hospital/subsections/trauma_emerg_icu/htm/english/sane.htm YOU may choose whether to accept this option or not. You can still get an examination for injuries, STI testing and the morning after pill at Sackville emergency. |
||
| SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) Programme at MONCTON CITY HOSPITAL | ||
http://www.serha.ca/moncton_hospital/subsections/trauma_emerg_icu/htm/english/sane.htm offers confidential, nurse-based care that ensures consistent, caring, uninterrupted and supportive treatment delivery. All procedures are carried out with the utmost privacy, dignity and respect. The SANE programme partners with the community to help address issues related to sexual assault. Partners include Mount A’s SHARE programme, Mount A’s Nurse Educator, RCMP, Fredericton Sexual Assault Centre, Victim Services and others. |

A confidential, caring approach to examination for injury, STI testing and pregnancy prevention treatment is also available at the Mount A Student Health Centre. Call SHARE at 540-7427 for help getting an appointment, or call the receptionist at 364-2163. |
