Pictured is CSAC executive director Jamie Matthews.TRURO, N.S. — Call it an appropriate coincidence that thecelebrated its 27th anniversary as an independent community-based non-profit organization on International Women’s Day earlier this month.
“Five years later, in 1996, we became independent,” he said. “So we certainly have to give a shout-out to those early folks who did all that upfront work to get us to where we are now.”Now, the non-profit, community-based organization, dedicated to strengthening, empowering and supporting those impacted by sexual violence, provides services to individuals in Colchester, Cumberland and East Hants counties.
Also from the release, it’s noted since COVID began, the CSAC is seeing an influx of past historical traumas surfacing. Matthews talked more about that in conversation with the Saltwire Network. “We also saw a lot of people who are in unhealthy relationships and when you’re stuck at home and can’t get the resources, the support and the socialization that you need, it was certainly heightening those implications of those unhealthy relationships people were in.”
