When someone experiences a personal violation of sexual harm, many emotions and thoughts run through one’s mind. The experience is complicated when the person who coerced or forced the abuse/assault is part of the victim’s family, work or social group. Advocates are safe to talk to and explore options. There is no judgment. Adults may choose to receive services without reporting to law enforcement.
Mosaic Georgia complies with the Georgia mandated reporting requirements under OCGA 19-7-5.
