For Ontario women who have been sexually assaulted - Help resources

I have cut and pasted a portion of an email I received from the Ministry of the Status of women for Ontario. Since I work from Toronto which is in Ontario, I focus on a specific area to refer clients, who may need additional help. I hope this may help some of you or someone you know. The Ministry of the Status of Women is committed to advancing gender equality across Ontario.  The ministry collaborates with partners across the province on key initiatives to end violence against women and improve women's economic independence and security.  The ministry supports programs and services for women in Ontario, but does not provide direct services. With respect to your inquiry, you may wish to contact the Assaulted Women's Helpline to seek referral information about local services for women in your community.  The helpline offers a 24-hour telephone and TTY crisis line to all women who have experienced abuse, and also provides referral information to service providers and others.  For more information about the helpline's services, please visit:  http://www.awhl.org/contact-us.  To access the helpline: GTA 416.863.0511 or GTA TTY 416.364.8762 TOLL-FREE 1.866.863.0511 or TOLL-FREE TTY 1.866.863.7868 You may also wish to contact your local Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centre to seek referral information related to assessments for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.  A list of these centres is provided at:  http://satcontario.com/en/home.php. Your local sexual assault centre is also a source of referral information about services for women in your community.  A list of these centres is available at:  http://www.sexualassaultsupport.ca/support. Lastly, the ministry's on-line resource, Getting Help, provides information for women experiencing violence, and is available at: http://www.women.gov.on.ca/owd/english/ending-violence/help.shtml
