Sexual Assault Advocacy and Support Services
If you’ve been sexually assaulted…
Believe in yourself
Remember that no matter what the circumstances, you are not to blame for what happened to you. Give yourself permission to do what you need to do to take care of yourself.
Tell someone you trust for support
This could be anyone, so think about who would be the most supportive. This person may be a good listener or be able to provide resources and options.
If you would like to speak to Victim Advocate, Rosemary Simmons, call 425.352.3851.
For more information about the victim advocacy and support go to the webpage.
