How Can I Help?

  • Believe a victim. If someone you know disclosed victimization to you, reassure him/her that you believe him/her and that you want to help them.
  • Know what to do if someone has been victimized. For more information see our Community Education Materials page.
  • Educate yourself and your loved ones about risk reduction, warning signs of abuse, victims’ rights and resources.
  • Know your legal responsibility: in Texas all adults MUST report any suspicion of abuse or victimization of children, the elderly and persons with disabilities. Contact local law enforcement or call the statewide hotline: 1-800-252-5400.
  • Donate and/or Volunteer for a victim services organization.
