Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence - Chantel's Place


This private, secure area provides a comfortable and supportive atmosphere for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence. It is a private and secure area that provides one-on-one care to clients by a specially trained nurse.

 

Comfortable chairs, soft lighting and warm colours create a welcoming waiting room for support people. A separate child’s room with a television, a computer and lots of toys create a comforting atmosphere for children.

The Nurse Examination Room is equipped with a screen for photographing injuries, forensic tools, and a privacy screen for survivors who require the support of an interpreter.

If a survivor wishes to involve police, a separate Interview Room is available to use once the medical examination has taken place. To reduce the stress of visiting a police station, the room is set-up to videotape statements.

Chantel's Place was opened in November 1998 in partnership with the Peel Regional Police and with the generous donations of many community members and organizations. It is considered a model of service throughout Ontario's 34 hospital-based programs.
