gwinnett sexual assault center & children's advocacy center

For more than 30 years, the Gwinnett Sexual Assault Center & Childrens Advocacy Center (GSAC-CAC) works to enhance the safety, healing, and justice for people of all ages impacted by sexual violence and abuse. We also work to change social conditions that (often unwittingly) allow for sexual violence and help build the capacity for local community response to harm done by sex crimes. Across northeast metro-Atlanta, we support hundreds of survivors every year with direct crisis and clinical services and comprehensive advocacy services. We serve children, youth, and adults without regard to age, race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, (dis)ability, sexual orientation, or immigration status at no charge to the victim. Victim Services provided in the Center include: 1. 24 Hour Crisis Line [crisis intervention, emotional support, information & referrals] 2. Forensic Medical Examinations / Assessments [even if victim is not ready to report to law enforcement] 3. Prophylactic Treatments 4. Forensic Interviews (for child victims) 5. Advocacy [personal & family advocacy, court accompaniment, support through criminal justice process, assistance with Georgia Crime Victim Compensation application] 6. Civil Legal Services for Victims [related to housing, employment, insurance, and other issues affected by the sexual assault] To eliminate the social conditions that allow for sexual violence: * Community outreach & awareness events * Education programs for school employees, students, and youth groups. Professional Training to strengthen community response to sex crimes: GSAC provides professional training to law enforcement officers and nurses seeking Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) certification across the state of Georgia. Hours of Service: GSAC-CAC provides services for victims of rape, sexual assault and child sexual abuse 24-hours a day, 7-days a week in our private Duluth location. www.gsac-cac.org
