Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse

Calgary Communities Against Sexual Abuse (CCASA) is the primary sexual harassment, sexual abuse and sexual assault crisis, counselling and education service provider for Calgary and the surrounding areas. We exist to support, inform, educate, and empower and we are a leader in the field of sexual violence. With experienced and skilled clinical, police and court services, education and training, and sexual assault response teams we provide a continuum of programs and services to diverse communities throughout southern Alberta.

As the largest sexual assault centre in Alberta we serve in a leadership position within a provincial network of sexual assault centres: the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services. Through this body and independently, we advocate for the needs of those individuals and communities impacted by sexual violence and deliver effective, timely and appropriate programs and services. This includes maintaining strong working relationships with partner organizations, both within the community and in the form of various public health, justice and educational institutions. Our services are both preventative of, and in response to, the impacts of sexual violence. We support survivors as they navigate the health, police and justice systems, provide a broad range of highly specialized counselling services, deliver training to community and professional organizations throughout the Calgary area and in primary, secondary and post-secondary settings we deliver comprehensive sexual violence education to the next generation of Canadians in the Calgary area.
