WeSupportHamilton is a way of sharing your story about your experience of hate in the way it makes most sense to you to offer resources and support that think about your needs in navigating existing systems. On this platform, there is a way to report or tell your story. There are resources to help you understand options that may be available to you to navigate your situation.

Upon submission of your story, you decide how much you would like to share, who you would like to seek support from and what happens with your story and the data that you have provided.

You may decide that telling of your story coincides with the need for care and support. A list of resources is available here to help you meet these needs and who you would like to share your story and data with.

The story that you share is included as part of anonymized aggregate data that is used for understanding the experiences of hate. The details of your story are only shared with others through your explicit consent which you provide during your submission and only for the data points that have been provided, e.g. contact information so HARRC may be able to further support you as you navigate the various support mechanisms available for your situation.

We have designed this platform such that there is no demand or requirement to share personally identifiable or personal health information to access resources or care through this platform.

Currently, your data are shared with:

  • HCCI
  • HARRC

We will not share information without expressed consent.

We are not a program service or initiative that is a partner of the Hamilton Police Service. If you wish to contact them, you may do so through their online report form here.

Once your submission is complete, you will get a confirmation email. Within the next 24 hours a representative of WeSupportHamilton will get in touch with you for a follow-up if you’ve provided your contact information.
