The first few days after a sexual assault can be a very confusing time. You may have questions and be faced with difficult decisions. During this time you may not want, or be ready, to make many of these decisions. This is normal and okay.
You can call our 24-7 hotline at 434-977-7273 any time to talk about your options.
When you call:
Update March 24, 2020: If you go to the hospital for a sexual assault exam and evidence collection kit, you can still request to speak with a SARA advocate by phone.
You can get support. We have specially trained advocates who can meet you at the emergency room.
If you have concerns about the hospital exam being billed to your insurance or your parents' insurance, you can tell the hospital staff.
You can choose not to go to the emergency room and still get support by calling our hotline at 434-295-7273.
You can still get support by calling our hotline. No matter what decisions you make, know that you have done the best that you can.
