What Is the Safe Helproom?

    Safe HelpRoom is an anonymous group chat service that allows sexual assault survivors in the military to connect with and support one another in a moderated and secure online environment at SafeHelpline.org

    Available 24/7

You Have the Right to Say "No."

Even if you:

  • First say "Yes," and then change your mind.
  • Have had sex with this partner before.
  • Have been kissing or "making out".
  • Are wearing what is perceived to be "provocative" clothing.
  • As with any violent crime, there is nothing you can do to guarantee that you will not be a victim of sexual assault. If you are sexually assaulted, remember that it is not your fault.

Who Can Help?

    If you have experienced a sexual assault trained staff are here to listen and can talk through the options and resources available to you.

    Sexual Assault Response Coordinators: serve as the single point of contact to oversee sexual assault awareness, prevention and response training; coordinate medical treatment, including emergency care, for victims of sexual assault; and track the services provided to a victim from the initial report through final disposition and resolution.

    Sexual Assault Victim Advocates: provide non-clinical crisis intervention, referral and ongoing non-clinical support to adult sexual assault victims. Support will include providing information on available options and resources to victims, provide liaison assistance with other organizations and agencies on victim care matters and reports directly to the SARC when performing victim advocacy duties.

    Healthcare Personnel: are included as necessary to support victims who make Restricted and Unrestricted Reports of sexual assault. This applies to healthcare providers and persons assisting or otherwise supporting healthcare providers including administrative personnel and mental healthcare personnel.

    Military Chaplains: In the course of privileged communication with a chaplain, a victim may choose to disclose a sexual assault. The disclosure will remain confidential. However, the chaplain can help facilitate contact with a SARC or victim advocate to file an official Restricted or Unrestricted Report of sexual assault.
