Getting Help

                              If you have been raped or sexually assaulted:

Get to a safe place

Call the police

                                                                Do not wash your body, change your clothes or disturb

                                                     anything at the scene if possible. These things can be

                                          used as evidence if you wish to press charges.

                 Call a trusted friend or family member

                Go to the hospital. This is very important for checking for STDS, injuries, and

                pregnancy along with preserving evidence.

                Seek counseling at a local rape crisis center.

             Call a sexual assault hotline to talk to a counselor. The national hotline number is

1-800-656-HOPE
