Sexual Assault Survivor Program

What is Sexual Assault?

  • Sexual assault is any act that breaks a person's trust, or violates their sense of safety, and is sexual in nature.

  • This includes forced, coerced, or manipulated sexual activity, as well as sexual contact with someone who is unable to consent.

Sexual Assault Victim Services

Supportive statements to survivors of violence over a teal background. They read, you did nothing wrong, I am here for you, You are brave, It wasn't your fault, I believe you, How can I help, Thank you for telling me, and You are never alone.
Light green text on a dark green background. "Hold close to your heart that you're doing the best you can. You're enough as you are, You're responsible for yourself. Healing is possible with effort. You are important in this world. Generational trauma can stop with you. Time does not heal all wounds but your work can. You don't have to have it all figured out. You have a right to life and safety. You do not have to prove your worth.
The background is a white condom wrapper. The black text reads "Things that cause rape" and then lists four options with a checkbox by each. The four options are: flirting, skimpy clothes, drinking, and rapists. Only rapists is marked.
  • Counseling for Survivors, Families and Friends: Our Sexual Assault Advocates have been trained in working with sexual assault survivors to help you in your recovery process. We can also answer questions and provide support for family and friends.

  • Assistance with medical help: If you have been sexually assaulted, you may need medical care for possible injuries, pregnancy, or contracting STIs. A trained Advocate can accompany you during the medical forensic exam, if you choose.

  • Legal advocacy: Advocates cannot provide legal advice. However, Advocates can accompany you during police reporting and court proceedings, or assist in filing paperwork for restraining orders, divorce, or other civil/family matters. We can also assist you in applying for programs like judicare or other legal assistance as available.

  • Safety planning: We can work with you to create a personalized safety plan whether you choose to remain in or leave a violent relationship.

  • Emergency shelter: We do not have a shelter on-site; however, we do partner with local domestic violence shelters as needed. We can provide you with resources for safe, short-term emergency shelter as we work with you to find more permanent housing options available.

  • Outreach and awareness: Presentations and public education about sexual assault are available free of charge. Please contact the Program Director at sadirector@fsccf.org if interested.

  • 24-hour crisis hotline: Call 1.800.400.7020 to speak to a trained Advocate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
