Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre

Support services for currently serving and former Canadian Armed Forces members, National Defence public service employees, Cadets and Junior Canadian Rangers affected by sexual misconduct and their families, aged 16 and older. Guidance and support for leaders and management on addressing sexual misconduct.

The SMSRC is continuing to contact all members of the CAF-DND Sexual Misconduct Class Action who expressed interest in the Restorative Engagement program, by email or phone as we were not able to reach all members before the end of year 2023. This will allow you to confirm if you are still interested or if you need more information. If you are not sure that you expressed interest on your claim form or need to update your contact information, please contact the Claims Administrator. We look forward to onboarding more class members. If you have any questions regarding the program, please email us at RE-DR@forces.gc.ca or call the SMSRC’s 24/7 line at 1-844-750-1648.
