"Tell someone you trust. Keep telling until someone listens: To stop the abuse, to protect yourself, to protect other potential victims!"

Our primary roles are to provide crisis intervention, support and education; to make referrals to appropriate agencies; and to promote public awareness concerning sexual assault.
