RISE

What is the RISE PROGRAM?

The RISE program provides free legal resources and support to people who have experienced sexual violence and workplace sexual harassment.

Our legal resources include:

legal information;
free advice from a lawyer for up to four hours;
support navigating the justice system; and
referrals to other community support services.

We are here to help. Our services are confidential.

The RISE program has been made possible by a five-year funding agreement with Justice Canada and a two-year funding agreement with the PEI Department of Justice and Public Safety.

To be eligible for this program, you must be:

a victim of sexual violence or workplace sexual harassment;
