Assault and Abuse Services
Assault and Abuse Services
We offer many services for people affected by sexual assault, physical violence and domestic violence.
Our crisis line is staffed around the clock. If you’re looking for caring, supportive assistance, call 425-252-4800. All calls are confidential.
We offer specially trained advocates to assist sexual abuse and assault victims of all ages. This includes rape victims, sexually abused children and their non-offending family members and adult survivors of child sexual abuse. These services are free of charge. Call 425-297-5771.
Highly trained registered nurses are available 24 hours a day to conduct forensic exams. These medical exams identify injuries and collect evidence that may be helpful in a prosecution. They may be used with victims of sexual assault, physical assault and domestic violence. We also do these exams on children, elders and vulnerable adults suspected of being abused, neglected or maltreated.
When we think a child may have been sexually assaulted, we have a certified nurse practitioner available to conduct a medical exam and gather evidence. We do these exams at Dawson Place Child Advocacy Center, a child-friendly environment that helps put kids at ease.
For information about these exams in an emergency situation, call 425-252-4800. You may also go to the emergency department. To schedule a nonemergency exam, call 425-297-5770.
We provide in-service training and informational presentations on many topics related to sexual assault. These are available to:
- Civic and service organizations
- Educators
- Law enforcement agencies
- Medical groups
