Kentucky Rape Crisis Resources
The
first thing you should know if you were raped or sexually assaulted
is that it was not your fault. For local rape crisis hotlines click
here or scroll
down. You can call the National Sexual Assault Hotline, operated by
RAINN, 24 hours a day at 1-800-656-HOPE
(4673). RAINN will automatically
refer you to a local hotline operator. Feel free to request
to speak to a person of your gender. Message
boards are recommended as a good first step if you are not ready
to talk. If
you are reporting a rape you should ask the local crisis center for
a victim's advocate
who will walk you through the process. For
information on Reporting
a rape click here.
RAINN
now hosts an online crisis counseling
service.

The
Center for Women and Families
http://www.thecenteronline.org/
"Established
in 1975, the Rape Crisis Program began out of a growing community need
to help victims of rape or sexual assault. A rape or sexual assault is
an experience for which no one is prepared. Often, the first step toward
healing begins with a Center representative meeting with a victim at the
hospital. Beyond the initial hospital visit, the Rape Crisis Program provides
counseling and support groups not only to rape victims, but also to their
friends and families. The Rape Crisis Program helps victims and their
friends and family rebuild their lives and become survivors.
Call Toll Free 24 Hours at (877)
803-7577 for immediate help."
