- An advocate from a local sexual assault program (CASDA) can be called (715-392-3136) for support and assistance.
If you choose not to report to the Police,
there are a few things you should do to insure good physical and mental health:
- Get a thorough medical exam. There is a need to check for lacerations, the possibility of pregnancy, and the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases.
- Get a check-up at least six weeks after the assault to check for pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases.
