What To Do Right Now
Go To A Safe Place
This could be your house, a friend or family member’s house, or a police station. Your safety is the first priority.
Call Someone You Trust
This might be a friend, family member, or partner. After a sexual assault, survivors often feel that their “mind is racing,” and speaking to a trusted friend can help organize your thoughts.
Call our 24-hour Hotline at 202.333.RAPE
We can help. Trained crisis counselors staff our confidential 24-hour Hotline. They are there to provide you with support, answer your questions, or to just listen. If you are thinking about getting medical attention or calling the police and you have questions you can call the Hotline for support and information.
When you are ready, the DCRCC offers free in-person counseling for individuals, couples, and families. Support groups are also available.
