SAFE’s Eloise House clinic offers 24/7 free sexual assault advocacy support and crisis intervention. The clinic provides forensic exams and medical care at no cost, available by appointment.
Eloise House operates in coordination with our SAFEline, which offers confidential, pressure-free conversations via phone, text, or chat to discuss available options. All services through SAFE are free and confidential.
When requested, SAFEline staff can arrange a free private exam conducted by a forensic nurse at Eloise House, located securely on SAFE’s Rathgeber Village campus. These compassionate nurses provide both medical care and evidence collection (commonly known as rape kits).
For the most effective evidence collection, individuals are encouraged—if possible—to avoid changing clothes, showering, brushing teeth, eating or drinking, or using the bathroom before the exam. However, an exam can still be performed even if these activities have already occurred.
If you think that you may have been sexually assaulted, there are options. Rape is never your fault, no matter the circumstances.
SAFE’s Sexual Assault Advocates:
At Eloise House, trained advocates provide emotional support and explain available options, which may include a sexual assault forensic exam, evidence collection (rape kits), reporting to law enforcement, counseling referrals, safety planning, and other services.
These advocates operate independently from police, the medical system, and the legal or criminal justice system. Their role is to help individuals understand these systems and the rights afforded to victims of crime. Advocates can also coordinate community resources and ensure follow-up support is available after the initial visit.
Our compassionate, well-trained advocates can provide an important step toward healing.
