What We Do
We offer a range of support services for victims of sexual assault and their loved ones. Our volunteers can accompany victims to the hospital, to the police and to court appearances. We provide free lectures to groups on topics such as preventing sexual assault, building healthy relationships and avoiding date violence. Several times a year, we hold training courses for those interested in joining us as Hotline Volunteers or Court Advocates.
