If someone you know has been assaulted
- Listen, be there, encourage your friend to report the crime to law enforcement (call 911 in most areas), and let them know that professional help is available at this website or by calling A Safe Place at 508-228-2111 or the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (press ONE at the menu).
- Become knowledgeable about the issue and share your knowledge with others. Let friends know what to look for in a potential offender and how to react if ever in a dangerous situation.
