Suicide Prevention

As a member of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network, Crisis Call Center offers free and confidential support, intervention, and information for individuals throughout Nevada seeking help for themselves or their loved ones who are experiencing suicidal thoughts or crisis-related issues.

     – Are you a suicide attempt survivor?
     – Have you lost a loved one to suicide?
     – Do you support suicide prevention?
     – Share your story on the Lifeline Gallery and help others connect to help and hope.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is a 24-hour, toll-free suicide prevention service available to anyone in suicidal crisis. If you need immediate assistance, please dial: 1-800-273-8255 (TALK)

All calls to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline are answered by local crisis centers belonging to the national network. Crisis Call Center is proud to be a member of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network.

Although suicide prevention is the primary mission of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, people can call the Lifeline for many reasons:

The life of each and every individual has meaning and value. Individually, our lives have a huge influence on a great many people. The loss of a life by suicide impacts an entire community. By knowing the signs and helping someone who is suicidal, you have done more for that person and your community than you will ever know.

Are You Or Is Someone You Love At Risk Of Suicide?

Suicide Is 100% Preventable If You Know The Signs And Take Action.
– Be aware. Learn the warning signs.
– Get involved. Become available. Show interest and support.
– Ask if he/she is thinking about suicide.
– Be direct. Talk openly and freely about suicide.
– Be willing to listen. Allow for expression of feelings. Accept the feelings.
– Be non-judgmental. Don’t debate whether suicide is right or wrong, or feelings are good or bad. Don’t lecture on the value of life.
– Don’t dare him/her to do it.
– Don’t give advice by making decisions for someone else, or by telling them to behave differently.
– Don’t ask “why”? This encourages defensiveness.
– Offer empathy, not sympathy.
– Don’t act shocked. This creates distance.
– Don’t be sworn to secrecy. Seek support.
– Offer hope that alternatives are available, do not offer glib reassurance; it only proves you don’t understand.
– Take action! Remove means! Get help from individuals or agencies specializing in crisis intervention and suicide prevention.

Be Aware of Feelings, Thoughts, and Behaviors
Nearly everyone, at some time in his or her life, thinks about suicide. Almost everyone decides to live because they come to realize that the crisis is temporary, but death is not. On the other hand, people in the midst of a crisis often perceive their dilemma as inescapable and feel an utter loss of control. Frequently, they:

– Can’t stop the pain.
– Can’t think clearly.
– Can’t make decisions.
– Can’t see any way out.
– Can’t sleep, eat or work.
– Can’t get out of the depression.
– Can’t make the sadness go away.
– Can’t see the possibility of change.
– Can’t see themselves as worthwhile.
– Can’t get someone’s attention.
– Can’t seem to get control.

If you are concerned about a family member or friend, show you care and ask the question: Do you feel suicidal? Trust your gut instincts, and if you’re concerned, help get the person to support services that can help. If the person can’t open up to you, find someone else who can talk with that person. If you are unsure but still concerned, call the Crisis Call Center to speak with one of our trained volunteers today.

Don’t delay. Your concern could save a life. Call 1 (800) 273-8255.

Sexual Assault Support Services

Call: (775) 221-7600. We are here for you 24/7/365.

What is Sexual Assault?

Sexual Assault is any unwanted, forced, or coerced sexual act. It includes inappropriate sexual contact or fondling, acquaintance rape, date rape, stranger rape, child sexual abuse, and incest. Sexual assault is not about sex, it is a crime of violence where sex is used as a weapon, motivated by the desire to have power and control over the victim.

Sexual assault violates not only a person’s body, but also their sense of safety and control over their life. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED!

What if you are assaulted?

If you are a victim of sexual assault, consider doing the following:

Go to a safe place.

Seek medical care immediately. You may not be aware of injuries you have received, and you should be tested for sexually transmitted diseases. Medical care is available at any hospital emergency room. If you are considering reporting the assault to law enforcement, call the 24-hour SASS line at (775) 221-7600 or 1 (800) 992-5757 for the support that you need.

Get tested for sexually transmitted diseases. The Washoe County Health Department or Planned Parenthood perform testing and you do not have to file a police report to receive medical treatment. Nevada law requires the county in which the crime occurred to pay for initial medical costs for victims of sexual assault.

Speak with a SASS team advocate. Discuss your options and receive referrals for additional services, ask the hospital to talk to an advocate or call (775) 221-7600.

Call a supportive person, a friend or relative, or call Crisis Call Center. Crisis Call Center is available 24/7/365 at (775) 784-8090 or 1 (800) 992-5757.

To report or not to report…

Reporting the sexual assault to law enforcement is the survivor’s choice. We encourage survivors to report the crime; however, a victim’s decision should always be respected and supported, whether or not they choose to file a police report.

If you are assaulted and you are considering filing a police report, please try to follow these guidelines to preserve evidence:

*DO NOT BATHE OR DOUCHE.
*DO NOT CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES.
*DO NOT BRUSH YOUR TEETH OR USE MOUTHWASH.
*DO NOT USE THE BATHROOM.
*DO NOT EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING.
*DO NOT APPLY ANY MEDICATION.
*DO NOT DISTURB OR CLEAN UP THE CRIME SCENE.

Even if you DO THESE THINGS you can ABSOLUTELY still get an exam! Please always contact us if you have any questions or doubts.

Forensic examinations for collecting physical evidence can be conducted up to seven (7) days after an assault has occurred. You can report the crime and have a forensic examination during this time period even if you have cleaned up and/or choose not to report the incident. Please call the 24-hour crisis line at 775-784-8090 or 1-800-992-5757 for more information.

Who are the victims of sexual assault?

Anyone can be a victim of sexual assault, regardless of age, race, socioeconomic status, cultural background, religion, marital status, physical or mental ability, gender, or sexual orientation. A person can be assaulted by their spouse.

1 of 4 girls and 1 of 6 boys will be assaulted before their 18th birthday.

1 of 6 women and 1 of 33 men will be assaulted in their lifetimes.

A Note To Survivors

You have been through a traumatic experience. It is important for you to know that no matter what the circumstances of the assault were, it was not your fault. Victims of sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and incest are not to blame. Only the perpetrator is at fault.

You may experience many different feelings and emotions after the assault. The trauma of an assault does not end when the act of violence is over. Each of us responds to crisis in our own way, and no reaction is “wrong” or “crazy”. Common feelings include fear, guilt, shame and anger. Some people will experience depression, flashbacks, anxiety, troubled sleeping and/or eating patterns, and problems re-establishing sexual relationships. Many survivors re-experience some of these feelings or problems months or years after the assault.

Your reactions are unique to you.

Others may tell you how you should feel, and when you should feel “better” or what you should do to help yourself, but you are an individual, and you are entitled to your own feelings and reactions.

It is important to allow your feelings to surface following the assault. Sexual Assault Support Services volunteers can help you access information on victims’ compensation programs; long term counseling and other services that may help you rebuild your life.
