The Calgary Sexual Assault Response Team (CSART) provides specialized care to individuals who have been sexually assaulted within the past 7 days (168 hours).
The service is available primarily through the Sheldon M. Chumir Urgent Care Centre, where the CSART team has a specialized space. CSART services are also available through any Calgary emergency department. This service is available 24/7 to anyone 14 years of age and up who has experienced a sexual assault within 7 days (168 hours). Children under 14 are served at the Alberta Children’s Hospital.
We provide one-on-one and group counselling for individuals impacted by any form of sexual violence, including sexual harassment, sexual abuse, and sexual assault.
This team exists specifically to support and advocate for people who have experienced sexual violence as they navigate the legal system or are considering doing so.
Our support line offers empathetic, judgment-free help to anyone affected by sexual violence. We provide crisis intervention, emotional support, information, and referrals to community resources.
