1. About the Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre
The Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre (SMSRC) provides and facilitates access to support services and resources for persons directly and indirectly affected by sexual misconduct within the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and Department of National Defence (DND).
We also provide strategic advice, guidance, and recommendations to the CAF and DND, on all matters related to sexual misconduct, as well as awareness activities, both departmentally and more broadly, as they pertain to sexual misconduct subject matter expertise. As the strategic advisor on sexual misconduct, the SMSRC Chief Operating Officer reports directly to the Deputy Minister and operates independently from the CAF chain of command to ensure the independence of the provided support services and expert advice.
Our services are confidential within prescribed limits and available to the defence community across Canada and worldwide. We provide services primarily, but not exclusively, to any of the following members who have been affected by sexual misconduct:
- Regular Force
- Primary and Supplementary Reserve
- Cadet Organizations Administration and Training Service
- Currently serving and former members of the CAF/Veterans
- Currently serving and former Department of National Defence (DND) public service employees
- Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers, age 16 and older
- Families, caregivers and supporters of the above, age 16 and older
As an organization, the SMSRC is committed to promoting and supporting equity, diversity, inclusion, anti-racism and accessibility. We strive to respect and uphold the integrity and dignity of all community members, including those applying to this Grant Program, those who receive funding through this grant, and their clients.
