Resources

We had to find three different resources in Michigan that help protect you from sexual violence and other abuses. One place you can go to is R.A.I.N.N. which stands for Rape Abuse & Incest National Network. They tell people what to do in case they are being sexually assaulted. You can get to them by going to their website at http://www.rainn.org.

R.A.I.N.N. also has a hotline called the National Sexual Assault Hotline. When someone is being assaulted, the victim can call their number to get help. You can call them at 1-800-656-HOPE. There is information about the hotline on the R.A.I.N.N. website mentioned above.

There is an organization called Springtide Resources that helps raise awareness against abuse to women. They help find ways to have people stop harassing women and protect them from abusers. You can call them at (416)968-3422. You can also go to their website at http://www.settlement.org.

  1. Thank you for these excellent resources. Where would you suggest I could physically go in Grand Rapids if I am being abused instead of calling an organization?
