About Us
Our Story
Our journey as the Central Alberta Sexual Assault Support Centre (CASASC) began over three decades ago, rooted in a mission to support individuals impacted by sexual violence. I’ve witnessed the evolution of our services to meet the changing needs of the community, from initial crisis intervention and counselling to prevention education and advocacy. Each step has been shaped by our vision of a safer, more compassionate environment where every voice is heard and every survivor is supported.
Reflecting on our growth, CASASC embraced a new chapter by creating the Sendero Centre, a dedicated space symbolizing pathways to healing and resilience. “Sendero” means path, and this centre represents our ongoing journey with the community—walking alongside those affected by trauma and advocating for a future free from sexual violence.
At the Sendero Centre, our approach focuses on empowerment and safety, providing not only resources but also a supportive environment where healing can flourish. With this transition, we reinforce our commitment to education, awareness, and direct support for anyone who needs it. Through these expansions, I feel hopeful about the positive changes we’re able to bring, inspiring individuals and communities to stand united against sexual violence.
