Cumberland River Victims Services
We are available for you if you are in crisis. We operate a twenty-four hour per day, seven days per week crisis line available by calling (800) 656-HOPE (4673).
Medical Advocacy
After a sexual assault, survivors have the right to seek medical treatment and/or a Sexual Assault Forensic Exam. Survivors have the right to decide if they would like to report the sexual assault to law enforcement except in situations of mandatory reporting.
Therapy
Many victims of sexual assault or abuse find that they can benefit from longer therapy. We offer individual therapy, couples therapy, and family therapy. Many times, friends and family members can also benefit from therapy.
Legal Advocacy
Advocates are available to provide emotional support and information throughout the investigation and legal proceedings if a survivor chooses to report to law enforcement or in situations of mandated reporting in which there is an investigation and court proceedings.
It's My Space
It is a research-based curriculum that has been evaluated for effectiveness in New York and was found to effectively reduce sexual harassment, physical and sexual dating violence, and peer violence. This curriculum has been adapted by Kentucky for application in largely rural middle school populations.
