If you are in crisis first make sure you are safe. If you are not safe, call 911.

If you are safe, call our 24 hour sexual assault line at  1-800-886-7273 to be connected with a staff advocate or trained volunteer advocate.

How can the hotline help me?

​

By calling our 24 hour sexual assault hotline you can receive:

​

• Confidential support from a trained advocate to help answer questions and work through what happened

• Assistance scheduling a sexual assault exam at any Collin County hospitals or Courtney’s SAFE Place at The Turning Point

• Local resources that can assist with your next steps toward healing and recovery.

• Referrals for long term support in your area.

• Information about the laws in your community.

​

​

Is the hotline confidential?

Our hotline is completely confidential.

However, Texas has a law that requires advocates to contact authorities in certain situations, like if there is a child or vulnerable adult who is in danger.

​

​

Who will I be speaking to?

The people who answer calls placed to the hotline are known as advocates. To be an advocate, individuals must first go through a 40 hour training.

These individuals:

• Never release  information about the call without the consent of the caller, except when obligated by law

• Only make reports to the police or other agencies when the caller consents, unless obligated by law
