Sexual Assault Awareness
April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, another important issue facing our society.
Grand Rapids is fortunate to have many organizations ready to help those whose lives have been affected by sexual assault. The local YWCA and the Kent County Domestic Violence Community Coordinated Response Team are two such organizations. The YWCA's confidential 24-hour crisis hotline is 616-776-RAPE (7273).
Stop by the main Grand Rapids Public Library's sexual assault display and pick up a free copy of the booklet, A Handbook for Survivors of Sexual Assault, along with other pamphets and materials on this topic. More information can be found through the Michigan Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, and the Men Can Stop Rape organizations.
