SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIM SERVICES (SAVS)
Sexual Assault Victim Services (“SAVS”) is a certified
rape crisis program working in cooperation with
the Women’s Center in Brevard to provide free and
confidential support and advocacy services to sexual
assault victims and their loved ones.
SAVS is staffed with victim advocates who provide
victims with emotional support and assistance in
making informed decisions. SAVS advocates are
specially trained to assist victims with options about
reporting the crime and obtaining heath care after
the assault, as well as assist with coordination of
services, information and referrals. Victim advocates
also provide criminal justice information, assistance
with crime victim compensation, and referrals to
appropriate community resources.
SAVS advocates are available 24 hours a day to
provide crisis intervention and advocacy services.
SAVS has a rape crisis center staffed with sexual
assault nurse examiners and advocates readily
available at any time. Advocates can provide support
throughout the sexual assault forensic examination
as well as accompany victims to interviews with law
enforcement and courtroom appearances. To contact
SAVS, call the Brevard County Rape Hotline at (321)
784-HELP (4357).
