Our Centre is here to help and answer all of your questions. A phone call can be anonymous, and our staff can help you determine your next steps and actions.
Experiencing sexual assault is traumatic and everyone will react to it in their own way. You may feel scared, hurt, exhausted, and confused, among many other emotions. Some people might feel numb or in shock, while others may struggle with strong feelings. Whatever you feel is valid and that support is available.
Your safety is most important – do you live with the person who hurt you? Do you want to talk? Do you need medical attention?
It is important to remember that while reporting to police is a valid option, it is not a requirement to report. There are many factors to consider and there is no right or wrong answer to whatever decision you make. Our Centre has more information about the legal system and what you can expect, and we are happy to help you make the right decision for your journey and healing process.
