If you have been sexually assaulted...

​

You have just experienced a life-changing event. Asking for help is the first step in your recovery.  

​

Call our 24/7/365 hotline 205.860.SAFE (7233)

​

The Tuscaloosa SAFE Center office is open Monday-Friday from 8:30-4:30. If you call after hours, the answering service will send the on-call SANE (Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner) a confidential message and the SANE will contact you to arrange to meet at the center.  

​

In order to help preserve evidence until you meet the SANE, please DO NOT:

• Eat anything.

• Drink anything.

• Shower.

• Use the restroom.  **If you must use the restroom, please DO NOT wipe or clean yourself.**

​

If you have changed your clothing, please place the clothes you were wearing when you were assaulted in a paper bag and bring it with you to the center.
