Sexual Assault Victims Can Find Help Online

| | Comments (0) |

RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Work) announced today that victims of sexual assault and abuse can now access help through their private and secure online messaging system. Acknowledging that most sexual assault victims are young, the Washington D.C.-based nonprofit will offer support and information about recovery, medical issues, the criminal justice process and local resources for victims and their friends and family.

According to Scott Berkowitz, president and founder of RAINN, "The National Sexual Assault Online Hotline provides the services these young victims need, using the technology they embrace. The Online Hotline provides a safe way to begin recovery by using extensive security measures to guarantee that the visitor remains completely anonymous."

The hotline is available at www.rainn.org. Their telephonic hotline is (800) 656-HOPE.

The entire release is after the jump.
