After seeing a group assembling comfort kits for unhoused women, Sarah Sherman realized the same kind of support could have helped after her own sexual assault forensic exam. In this episode, Sarah shares how that moment sparked We’re Here For You Canada, a volunteer-run charity that partners with hospitals to provide curated comfort kits to survivors of sexual violence. She explains what’s inside the kits, and why dignity, hope, and choice matter in post-assault care. Sarah also discusses hospital and community partnerships, expansion across Atlantic Canada and beyond, and how storytelling and language can reduce victim-blaming and drive systemic change.
