On April 24, community officials, business leaders and residents joined WIRC-Community Action Agency’s Victim Services' Hands Around the Courthouse to recognize and raise awareness for child abuse prevention as part of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month.
If you survived sexual assault or child abuse of any kind, no matter how long ago it happened, you are welcome to call Victim Services’ hotline at 309-837-5555 to speak with a counselor or advocate. All services are free and confidential, and callers can choose to remain anonymous. Victim Services assists sexual assault survivors of all ages in Hancock, Henderson, Fulton, Knox, McDonough and Warren counties in Illinois.
According to WIRC-CAA Victim Services, last year, their office received over 3,400 calls to their crisis hotline. Each call offers counseling or advocacy to a survivor of sexual assault, child abuse or domestic violence.
