You are not alone. You are not to blame.
Here are some resources to support victims of crime who need help. While I haven’t personally used every one of them, I’ve found each to be worth sharing. Please note that these resources are not a substitute for law enforcement or legal advice. Every situation is different. Trust your instincts, and do what feels safest for you.
If you’re in danger right now, and it’s safe for you to call, dial 9-1-1.
