The Association of Communities Against Abuse (ACAA) has been serving East Central Alberta for 35 years. Communities served are within the approximate boundaries of highway 9 in the south, highway 21 in the west, highway 14 in the north and the Saskatchewan border in the east. We aspire to support anyone impacted by sexual abuse, assault and other forms of sexualized violence, and to engage our communities in creating a culture of respect and consent. ACAA addresses sexual abuse and assault across this vast rural region by: – Providing specialized treatment services including crisis support, therapeutic counselling, and family support for survivors of sexual abuse, assault and other forms of trauma. – Empowering survivors as they navigate the Criminal Justice System by providing information, support, and advocacy from before they choose to report to the end of the process. – Educating and engaging the public, students, parents, and professionals on sexual violence through inclusive and accessible training sessions. – Building leadership and skill capacity – enhancing organizational and community capacity to respond to sexual abuse and assault.
