Services Available at our Center

24/7 Hotline

Our 24 Hour Crisis Line is answered by trained staff and volunteers; the crisis line answers the need for short-term crisis counseling to both recent and past survivors of rape as well as their family and friends who are supporting the victim. Hotline volunteers and staff provide support in time of crisis as well as information regarding resources at the Center and in the community for child and adult sexual abuse and assault survivors, their families, and significant others.  The hotline is anonymous and will always be answered regardless of when the call is made.

 

 

 

Staff are available to assist survivors, significant others, and family members with information and referrals. They also act as a liaison with law enforcement officials during criminal investigations.  Center staff can provide survivors with information on the workings of the legal system, insight on testifying, and accompaniment during court proceedings if a case goes to court. At the time of crisis, trained volunteers and/or staff are available on call to meet survivors at their local medical center or the Family Protection Center to provide emotional support and information, during a medical examination (rape kit). 

 

 

 

Staff provides referrals for one-on-one, confidential counseling for child and adult survivors as well as their families, and significant others.

If you are interested in one on one counseling or receiving any information about the possibility of counseling please call the hotline at 706.546.1133
