In crisis and don’t know how to get help? Not sure whether what you experienced was a sexual assault? Suspect abuse but don’t know what to do? Just need a shoulder to lean on right now? We’re here for you, no matter what.
KCSARC believes and supports all survivors. Your safety and well-being is our highest priority.
Contact KCSARC for free, comprehensive support and guidance. Whether your child has told you about abuse or their behaviors make you wonder if abuse has occurred, we can help. Our advocates are here with support for you, your child and your family, along with information, guidance and resources 24 hours a day, every day.
Contact KCSARC for free, comprehensive support and guidance. Our advocates can talk with you 24 hours a day, to listen to your story, support you, answer your questions, or connecting you with further resources, like medical, legal or therapy services.
We know you might just want to talk it out at first. KCSARC staff is required to report suspected or substantiated abuse of anyone <18 to law enforcement, per state law, when we have identifying information (like a name, address or phone number). However, our 24-hour Resource Line will accept anonymous calls. You do not need to provide your name or other identifiers to get immediate support at our Resource Line.
Medical treatment for injuries and sexual assault forensic exams (sometimes called rape kits) are accessible at hospitals throughout King County, both for adults and children.
Know when you go:
For immediate help or to request an appointment for services, call our 24-hour Resource Line at 1.888.998.6423 anytime 24/7 or call our office M-F between 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. at 425.226.5062.
KCSARC offers most of its services free of charge, including 24-hour Resource Line response, medical or legal advocacy, and parent education, in English or in Spanish.
Therapy services may be billed to your insurer, if you have given us permission to do so. When insurance cannot be billed for therapy, KCSARC will work with you to be sure cost is never a barrier to service and healing.
As an independent nonprofit, KCSARC protects your privacy and information. You are not required to give your name or location when you call, nor are any calls recorded. All communications with KCSARC are confidential, except in cases involving children or young people under age 18. When we are made aware of possible sexual or physical abuse of a child or young person under 18, and have a name or location of the victim, we are mandated by the state of Washington to report that abuse.
If you need mental health resources, please call 9-8-8.
If you need immediate law enforcement or medical response, please call 9-1-1.
If you need guidance on where to find a hospital to provide a sexual assault forensic exam, how to report a sexual assault, or other related information, client care specialists at our 24-hour Resource Line can assist. Call 1.888.998.6423.
It is never too late to get help. We offer trauma-focused, structured treatment that is effective at reducing symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety stemming from the assault or abuse, whether it happened recently or years ago.
You can always report a sexual assault to law enforcement, and KCSARC can help you make that report. Laws about whether a sexual assault can be prosecuted vary from state to state. Here in Washington, we have had many changes over time to the statute of limitations for prosecuting sexual assault and child sexual abuse crimes, and these laws can be confusing. Please call our Resource Line to connect you with someone who can help.
When you report to law enforcement or your case enters a legal system, it can be a long and confusing process. Some of what you’ll experience depends on your age, how long ago the assault happened and other circumstances surrounding the assault. KCSARC can provide free and confidential legal advocacy support to help you in reporting — and every step that comes after that. Legal advocates are not attorneys, but they have specialized knowledge about the criminal justice system and can support and inform you in the process.
