Get Help
Support. Safety. No judgment. All of our services are free, confidential, and available to survivors age 11 and up in Monroe County.
You Have Options
We know that seeking help can feel overwhelming. That’s why our team meets you with compassion and lets you decide what support feels right for you. Here’s what you can expect:
Crisis Intervention
Our trained advocates are available to talk through what happened, help you understand your options, and support you in the way that feels best for you—whether that’s just talking, making a safety plan, or connecting to additional care.
Forensic Exams (SANE Exams)
You have the right to a medical-forensic exam, also known as a SANE exam, at no cost.
You do not need to report to law enforcement to receive care.
Our Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) are specially trained to offer trauma-informed exams, collect forensic evidence (if desired), and provide emergency contraception and HIV prevention as needed.
You may stop the exam at any time. It is your choice, every step of the way.
Note: If possible, try not to bathe, eat, or change clothes before the exam—but don’t worry if you already have. Evidence may still be collected.
