Are You Being Stalked? Safety Tips and Support in Regina

Stalking is a serious and often escalating form of harassment that can have significant emotional, psychological, and physical impacts. This resource provides information on stalking behaviours, their effects, and practical strategies to help individuals stay safe.

Stalking may include repeated contact, following, monitoring, threats, or attempts to control or intimidate. These behaviours often occur over time and may involve someone known to the individual, such as a former partner.

The impact of stalking can be severe. Individuals may feel constantly on alert, fearful, and overwhelmed, with disruptions to daily life, work, relationships, and overall well-being. Many experience anxiety, sleep disruption, and long-term emotional distress.

This resource outlines safety planning strategies for a variety of situations, including emergencies, at home, at work, and in public. It also includes guidance on documenting incidents, understanding legal protections such as criminal harassment laws, and accessing police and community supports.

Stalking is often connected to patterns of power and control and may escalate, particularly when a relationship ends. Taking threats seriously and seeking support early can help reduce risk and increase safety.
