Digna is committed to increasing access to relevant and available resources to organizations in our network so they can choose to use them as needed. Digna is creating an Online Database to achieve this. This database will be a list of identified resources and professionals that can offer support services to organizations to support their work to PSEA. If you are an individual, organization, or service provider who can offer these services and wish to be added to the database, we want to feature you!
Note: Digna is not a survivor support centre, and cannot offer intervention, legal advice, or serve as a reporting agency on behalf of survivors.
Terms and conditions
Digna would like to ensure that the resources in our database are of value to Canadian organizations, and that we can say we have done our due diligence regarding the resources we are publicizing.

Financial considerations
An annual listing in the database costs $100 for the rest of 2021, and subsequent renewal in 2022 will be $50.
Why are we asking for a fee? To ensure the financial sustainability of providing a database, with the goal of supporting organizations in PSEA in the long-term. As a listed service provider, you will gain potential clients from our large network of organizations. If this fee is not viable for you or your organization, we would be happy to work with you to find a solution.
