•Spiritual
•Financial
•Homophobic
•Immigration
•Destructive Acts

Sexual Assault & Rape

Sexual assault is any unwanted sexual contact or sexual attention committed by force, threats, bribes, manipulation, pressure, tricks or violence.

​

It includes rape and attempted rape, child molestation, incest and sexual harassment.

​

Sexual assault is a terrifying and often brutal crime: assailants can be strangers, acquaintances, intimate partners, friends or family members.

​

It is never the victims fault!

Stalking

***** If you require emergency assistance, please call 911 immediately! *****

 

Victims of stalking can not predict what stalkers will do but can determine their own responses to the stalking behavior. Personal safety and harm prevention is of the utmost importance for victims. While victims cannot control the stalking behavior, they can be empowered to take steps to keep themselves, family and loved ones safe. The creation of a safety plan can assist victims in doing this.
