Learn about your reporting options

Survivors should contact the RVSP Confidential Advocate as soon as possible to receive information, assistance, and support. While some options are restricted to a timeline, no matter when the incident happened, there are still options available to you. Our priority is to make sure you are aware of your options and rights, and to support whatever you decide. Once you reach out, you will hear directly from the Confidential Advocate to set up an appointment and discuss your options.
