The College offers funding for the purposes of treatment or counselling to patients when a complaint is made of sexual abuse of or sexual misconduct towards that patient.
The funded treatment or counselling is confidential, including from the College. It is organized, and provided through, an independent third-party program. Accepting funding for treatment or counselling is voluntary. It is the patient’s choice to contact the independent third-party program if they are approved for funding.
A patient’s eligibility and approval for funding will end after a period of time, if the maximum amount of funding is reached, if the complaint is withdrawn, if the complaint is dismissed, or if a Hearing Tribunal finds that the regulated member’s conduct was not sexual abuse or sexual misconduct.
