  • Get support

    The Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre (SMSRC) Peer Support Program, within the Department of National Defence in partnership with Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) has engaged Togetherall to provide a safer, anonymous, inclusive space for members to share their experiences and mental health challenges and receive support from other peers.

    The platform is not accessible on the National Defence network (DWAN). It is recommended that you use a personal device and a personal email address when registering in order to protect your anonymity.

    In Togetherall you can join the ‘Military’ group to connect with those who have military experience. You can also join the ‘SMSRC Peer Community’ to share with others who lived similar SM/MST experiences.

Yes, the Togetherall community is anonymous, and all interactions between members are anonymous. All usernames should not contain your first or last name, or any nicknames you are known by or have been known by. Personal information you provide to Togetherall is never shared with the Government of Canada, Sexual Misconduct Support and Resource Centre (SMSRC), Veterans Affairs Canada, or the Department of National Defence. If any personally identifiable information (names, locations, contact information) is shared by members, it is immediately removed from the community.

Our team of trained professionals (Wall Guides) monitor the community at all times to protect and maintain the anonymity of our members. If there are times that we have serious and immediate concerns for the safety of yourself and others, we do have a process where Wall Guides may seek identifying information from a member we are concerned about in order to connect them with additional emergency or crisis services.

Within Togetherall, there are groups you can join. One of these is a military group. By joining and participating in this group, you will be interacting with others who have experience with military service, either in Canada or in other countries represented in the community. You can also search for “military” or other words associated with military service via the search function.

You can join the SMSRC Peer Community by navigating to courses and selecting the SMSRC Peer Community tile and discuss with others within that forum. Additionally, you can search for specific terms related to sexual misconduct or you can filter by specific tags such as “abuse” or “PTSD/trauma”. You can also post in any of the forums about your own experience with sexual misconduct and/or military sexual trauma, without sharing any names or other information that would potentially breach anonymity. Or you can choose to follow posts on topics that are of interest to you without posting yourself. If you prefer to engage with others within the community in more private spaces, you can direct message other members. You can also create a private group conversation and invite other members to engage in a discussion around a specific topic like sexual misconduct. These private conversations would not be visible to the main message board or military group but would still be visible to our Wall Guides for moderation.

You are welcome to post anything about what you have experienced in the past or are currently experiencing in order to seek and receive help from other peers. Togetherall members agree not to share any information within the SMSRC Peer Community group that:

- may breach anonymity of yourself or others within the platform


- can be triggering to other members of the community.


-reveals the identifiable information of a specific organization or service


- includes a hyperlink or ULR address of a website outside of Togetherall
