Frequently Asked Questions
Is this confidential?+
Yes. Your consultation is free and completely confidential. Many survivors choose to proceed using a pseudonym, and contacting us does not make anything public. You decide what to share and when.
Do I need a police report?+
No. You do not need a police report — or any documentation — to speak with us. Many survivors never reported what happened, and that does not affect your ability to come forward now.
What if I don't remember exact dates?+
That's completely okay. Memories of trauma are rarely tidy. You do not need precise dates — our team can help reconstruct a timeline from records and other information.
Does contacting you start a lawsuit?+
No. Reaching out simply starts a confidential conversation with our intake team. There is no obligation, and you remain in control of every decision about whether and how to move forward.
