Online Crisis Centers
A rape survivor, as well as the survivor's loved ones, needs support in order to heal. It is crucial that the survivor has a safe place where they are believed. The survivor may need to express anger or other intense emotions, and sometimes, counseling may be a good idea. Crisis centers can help with this and many other areas of recovery.
