You Are Not Alone:

If you need to talk, please call us at 785.843.8985 to speak to a GaDuGi SafeCenter Advocate. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You may remain anonymous if you wish - all calls are confidential! We accept calls for any reason, any time. If you are not in Douglas County, Kansas, call 1.800.656.HOPE to find the nearest rape survivor center.

Many survivors find it helpful to talk to someone who is trained to listen and who understands the stress they are experiencing. Getting back to normal may take a long time and it is easier if you get some help. GaDuGi SafeCenter advocates and professional counselors can help you work through the trauma. It is normal for you to be experiencing emotional swings and a sense of unsteadiness—be kind to yourself and know that these feelings are okay. You have survived a serious trauma, and there is no timeline on your recovery. Talk to others about what has happened and how you are feeling.
