Immediate Action
If you have been subjected to or witnessed physical violence of any type, get to a safe place as soon as possible, and call a trusted friend or advocate.
If you have been subjected to sexual violence, consider seeking a sexual assault exam. Take care to preserve any evidence of the incident, even if you are undecided about whether you will file a claim or take legal action. Should you choose to do so, this evidence may assist in proving that a criminal offense occurred or obtaining a protection order.
