Sexual Assault Program

“Don’t question yourself, it wasn’t your fault, you didn’t do anything wrong. The shame and blame that happens initially is a road block. You sit there and you can’t believe that you got yourself into that situation but you didn’t. There’s nothing you could have done to change it.”— Previous LSR Client

We have Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They provide free medical forensic examinations for victims of sexual assault ages 13 years and older (for children under 13, please visit SafePath).

Exams may be performed in our private facility by registered nurses who are trained in advanced assessment and forensic techniques. They provide compassionate care that includes treatment for injuries as well as preventative treatments for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and pregnancy.

These services are available at no cost and may not require you to report your sexual assault. However, the SANE will gather forensic evidence and conduct an exam, which will aid in an investigation if you choose to go forward with that option in the future.

LiveSafe Resources advocates will accompany you to medical, legal appointments and other services as needed, as well as discuss options and victim rights.

What to Do If You or Someone You Know Has Been Sexually Assaulted

  • If you are in immediate danger or need medical attention, call 911

  • Get to a safe place

  • If you are trying to help a friend, listen to what they need and believe them.

  • Call a loved one and/or the LiveSafe Resources Crisis Line at 770.427.3390 for help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week

  • If you suspect you may have been sexually assaulted but do not remember the incident, a medical exam may be able to reveal DNA and includes tests for date rape drugs. It is important to get the exam as soon as possible as drugs leave the body quickly.

  • DNA evidence needs to be collected within 120 hours in order to be analyzed by a crime lab.

  • Do not shower, wash or brush your teeth. If you need to change, put your clothing in a paper bag. This will help preserve evidence of the assault. Try not to use the restroom if possible.

Advocates are standing by to take your call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide information and refer you to services or programs. This is a free, confidential resource available to those experiencing abuse or to friends and family who are concerned that a loved one is being abused.
