Effective September 2, 2025: The Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton (SACE) is excited to announce that we have officially resumed intakes for individual counselling for children, youth, and adults. Despite the impacts of the significant and unexpected changes to funding that we have experienced this year, our clinical team has continued to compassionately and effectively support children, youth, and adults impacted by sexual violence in our community. Because of their hard work, we now have the capacity to resume intakes — albeit with a smaller clinical staff complement than we previously had. If you have been impacted by sexual violence and would like to book an intake for individual counselling services, please call us at (780) 423.4102. While most counselling groups remain on hold for now, clients who are interested in group counselling are also welcome to call our office to be added to the group’s waitlist. SOLACE (Space of Learning and Cultural Equity), Skills for Change, and Wîwîp’son Healing from Sexual Trauma Circle for Indigenous Women are still running at this time. Please continue to follow our social media for updates about our other counselling groups. #SACE #YEG #YEGNonProfit #EndSexualViolence #EndSexualAssault #EndSexualHarrassment #EdmontonAB #Alberta #Treaty6 #SupportSurvivors #SupportSACE

What’s with the adorable army of teddy bears 🧸 in our Toy Room? • Norwood Dental Centre is pleased to support a fundraising campaign for our 124th Street neighbours, @sacetalks .
