Dear Friends of RAINN,

As schools, workplaces, and communities around the country grapple with concerns around COVID-19, I wanted to take a moment to reach out to say: RAINN is here to help you, no matter what.

The National Sexual Assault Hotline continues to operate 24/7 for all survivors and their loved ones seeking support.

As always, the health and well-being of all of our staff and volunteers nationwide is our top priority, and we are taking steps to ensure they can safely continue their work for survivors in the days and weeks ahead.

We know that this is a difficult time, and that uncertainty around the coronavirus may feel overwhelming for survivors already coping with trauma and stress. If you need to talk, we're here: call us at 800.656.HOPE or click here to chat with us online.

Moments like these remind us of the critical role that community plays in all of our daily lives. On behalf of all of us at RAINN, thank you for being an integral part of this warm, caring, compassionate community, and for all you do to bring hope and joy to survivors of sexual violence.

Sincerely,

Scott Berkowitz

President and Founder

P.S. While the COVID-19 situation is rapidly evolving, we are committed to keeping the hotline available 24/7 to help every person who needs us through the stressful times ahead. If you would like to support us in these efforts, please consider making a gift to RAINN today.
