You will not be forced to make a report to law enforcement unless conditions for a mandated report exist.

Mandated reporters are persons or groups of persons who have frequent contact with children and families and are required by Washington’s State law to report suspected cases of child abuse and neglect to CPS or to the appropriate law enforcement agency (RCW 26.44.030).

What does consent look like?

Different Types of Sexual Assault – Women, men, and children alike can all be victimized. We promise to believe you and listen to you regardless of gender identity or other identifying factors. Visit https://rainn.org/types-sexual-violence to find out more.

Therapy – New Hope can offer therapy referrals for survivors of Sexual assault. Advocates have information on local certified counselors that can assist with alleviating symptoms related to trauma and victimization. Your Advocate can discuss the benefits of counseling and assist with finding the right provider for you or your children who have also been affected.

RCW 70.125.060 – If the victim of a sexual assault so desires, a personal representative of the victim’s choice may accompany the victim to the hospital or other health care facility, and to proceedings concerning the alleged assault, including police and prosecution interviews and court proceedings. *Note: RCWs can change. Please refer to the current Washington State Laws for any updates to this law.

Advocates will provide crisis intervention and information/education about trauma responses to Sexual Assault. We will provide various options to survivors to support client driven decisions. Through referrals advocates can guide survivors to proper avenues for healing and coping (this looks different with every survivor).
