In this time of crisis, our dedicated crisis response advocates report directly to area hospitals to provide emotional support and to offer a change of new clothing, helping survivors and their friends and family:

• • Understand what happened to them
  • Learn what to expect physically and psychologically after the assault
  • Connect with medical and law enforcement professionals
  • Access critical resources at HAWC and within their communities
  • Provide advocacy

Advocates can also provide survivors with on-site danger assessment and safety planning, coordinate emergency housing placement and transportation of clients and ensure follow-up care after the assault.

If you or someone you know needs hospital accompaniment, please contact our 24-hour hotline or tell the hospital when you arrive.
