April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and the Partnership wants the community to know about the available resources through our Sexual Assault Crisis Resource Center. Our center is the only facility in the Greater Chattanooga area that offers such an encompassing list of services all under one roof. Victims of sexual assault do not have to fear walking into a police station to report the crime, or sitting in an emergency room for hours to receive an examination. The Sexual Assault Crisis Resource Center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide services in a private, secure setting. The Partnership also offers a 24-hour Crisis Hotline at 423-755-2700 to anyone in need of help.
The Partnership is also offering a support group for adult female survivors of sexual assault called Seeds of Healing. It will be held, free of charge, every Monday from April 14th - May 19th from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. We encourage you to share this information with your friends, family, and co-workers to let them know help is out there. Visit www.partnership.com to learn more about this program and upcoming events.
