Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Triage at the General Hospital:
The Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence (SADV) Care team at Guelph General Hospital is here to help people who have experienced sexual and/or domestic (intimate partner) violence. It takes courage to reach out for help. We are here to offer support and care.
The Centre has a team of specialized nurses who have training and experience caring for people who have experienced sexual assault and/or domestic violence. Its services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
To get services offered by the Centre, come directly to the Emergency Department and ask to see our Domestic Violence Nurse. She will be paged immediately. Clients are offered a private waiting area until the nurse arrives – usually within one hour. Any injuries requiring immediate attention are looked after in the Emergency Department first.
