HSDC offers trauma-informed programs and support for marginalized individuals to address crime, violence, and victimization within Scarborough and the GTA. We are committed to increasing awareness, fostering resilience, and strengthening the networks that protect racialized and marginalized individuals and families.
Scarborough United Against Human Trafficking Project (SUAH)
The Scarborough United Against Human Trafficking Project (SUAH) is a vital initiative committed to preventing and addressing cybercrime and human trafficking incidents across the GTA.
Hate Crime Prevention Project
The workshops aim to enhance knowledge and skills in recognizing, addressing, and combating hate crimes. The workshops foster learning, networking, and sharing, and were greatly enriched by guest speakers from diverse community organizations who shared valuable insights and experiences.
