Help us grow a stronger circle of care
Every day, at the Chinook Sexual Assault Centre and the Chinook Child & Youth Advocacy Centre, we meet individuals and families navigating the impacts of trauma, abuse, and violence.

We’re looking for professionals with experience in:
- Trauma therapy
- Supporting individuals impacted by sexual violence & child abuse
- Working with offenders (youth & adults)
- Problematic & Harmful Sexualized Behaviours
- Family & marriage counselling
- Risk assessments
- Supporting 2SLGBTQ+ individuals and families
- …and more.
If you’re a therapist who shares our passion for walking alongside individuals on their healing journey — we would love to connect with you.
