Important Facts

  • A medical exam is very important, to ensure that you are not injured and have not contracted an STD.
  • The sooner you talk to a support person, the sooner you will recover from an assault.
  • The SAS counselors will listen and support you, explain all of your options in detail, and assist you at the hospital or in making a report, etc.
  •  Remember: The assault was not your fault. Also: What to do is always your choice.
  • The best way to help a friend who was assaulted is to listen, believe her/him, and don’t judge.
