Sexual Assault Survivor Resources

If you or someone you know is a survivor, PLEASE get help. It's never too late. If you are wondering if what happened to you was sexual assault, please speak to someone. I know it might seem scary to start this journey, but I guarantee you will come out a stronger and happier person in the end.

Sexual Assault Services for survivors

• Counseling
• self-defense
• acupuncture &
• Yoga.

Most resources are free for survivors or have a small fee.
