WAYS TO START HEALING
You do not have to do this alone. We are here to help and support you through the healing process. All of our services are completely confidential and free.
CRISIS INTERVENTION
Emergency Room accompaniment. Our advocates can answer questions, walk you through the process of the medical exam, and offer emotional support. For scheduling counseling or if you need to speak to someone immediately, RCSAS provides a 24-hour crisis line with staff or trained volunteers available 7 days a week. 706-724-5200
individual counseling
Counseling is an open, non-judgmental, and safe space to work through problems or challenges.
Rape Crisis offers free, confidential counseling services to survivors of sexual assault and their families, regardless of how long ago the abuse occurred or whether or not it was reported.
