Hospital Accompaniment
SARC
provides accompaniment to the many hospitals when we are contacted by law
enforcement, hospital personnel, or the survivor / family or friends. The trained advocate on call is there to
provide support and accompany the survivor through the evidence exam, law enforcement
interview, or basic medical attention.
Case Management
The
elements of case management include notification of victim rights, assistance
in filing for Crime Victim’s Compensation, confirmation that all follow-up
medical attention has been addressed, assistance in identifying or maneuvering
through social services, accompaniment to any case related meetings or
restraining/stalking order hearings, as well as emotional support.
Counseling Program
Individual
counseling is available for uninsured adolescents and adults, both male and
female, who otherwise would have no access to mental health services. Sessions can be conducted in both English and
Spanish
Support Group
We
run twelve-week long clinical support groups three times a year for adult
female survivors offering participants education, coping skills, validation and
new choices to continue their recovery process.
School Education Program
A
community-based teacher provides a comprehensive nine-week sexual assault
prevention curriculum within the high schools of the Portland-Metro area. Alternative schools, youth groups and
activity centers are also included.
Latina Services
A group of bilingual bicultural staff and volunteers
ensure that Latina survivors of sexual assault have the same access to all of
SARC’s services but in a culturally specific manner.
Commercially Sexually
Exploited Children
24-hour
in-person crisis intervention and advocacy is available for both girls and boys
who have been identified as victims of child sexual exploitation. Case management and long-term support is
provided while working with families, law enforcement, child protective
services, and other social services in order to make a comprehensive safety and
“new life” plan for the adolescent as they are exiting this violent world
commonly known as human sex trafficking.
