Hey, I’m Sophie Foster, and welcome to our podcast! Each week, I sit down with local experts to ask the questions we're all wondering about gender-based violence - what abuse really is, when to reach out, and how we can help prevent it—right here in Oxford County. This podcast is brought to you by the women's shelters in Oxford County - Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (DASO) and Ingamo Homes - and funded by the Ontario Trillium Foundation Seed Grant. New episodes are released every Wednesday!

Episode 7 - What Support After Sexual Violence Actually Looks Like: Accessing OSAS

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Ferguson from Oxford Sexual Assault Services (OSAS) to talk about what sexual violence is, what reaching out for support can actually look like, and how healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.We unpack what happens when someone contacts OSAS, what supports are available and why it’s okay that many survivors take time before they're ready to talk about what happened — support is still available.We also reference this consent video (yes, the iconic tea analogy ☕️) — worth a watch or rewatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGoWLWS4-kU Whether you're a survivor, a supporter, or just curious to learn more — this episode is for you. 💜Resources & Support:Oxford Sexual Assault Services (OSAS)Website: https://oxchc.ca/homepage/services/oxford-sexual-assault-services-osas/ Cell Phone: 226.232.6149 (call or text)Email: osas@oxchc.ca Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website: www.ingamohomes.comFollow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat
