At the West Adams Neighborhood Council, we are committed to keeping our community informed about resources that promote safety, healing, and justice. We recently came across a valuable organization that aligns with these goals: Helping Survivors, an advocacy center partnered with RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) that provides crucial resources for individuals affected by sexual violence.
Helping Survivors offers comprehensive information, support services, and resources for survivors and their families, including guidance on navigating legal processes, mental health support, and safety strategies. One of their most recent efforts focuses on rideshare sexual assault awareness and prevention, providing important information on staying safe while using transportation services.
If you or someone you know needs support, we encourage you to explore their website:

At West Adams NC, we believe that access to the right information can empower and protect our community. We encourage you to share this resource with those who may benefit from it.
Stay safe and take care,
