What to expect during a forensic exam:

We always want those who come to the Lodge to feel loved and supported. The Walking With Our Relatives Aunties and Kookum’s are here to support you every step of the way. We go at a pace that is comfortable for you. During your visit at the Lodge you can expect:

A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner who has built a relationship with the Aunties and Kookum’s at the Lodge will do the exam with complete confidentiality, in a private room in our Lodge.
ALL GENDERS OF PEOPLE that take the very brave step to receive services after a violating experience deserve gifts. Therefore, our relatives will receive a gift bundle (blankets, clothing from Red Rebel Armour, a candle, sacred medicines, and much more) after receiving their sexual assault exam.
Please know that ANY TIME that has passed (after the assault or even if you are not sure what happened) we invite you in to see us. Please know we will wrap you with support and love while navigating this scary and confusing time.
