Emergency Medical Help & Counseling
SAFE programs provide sexual assault patients in emergency rooms or other acute care settings with specially trained clinicians who can provide comprehensive, sensitive, victim-center medical and forensic care. The best standard of care teams these specially trained clinicians with volunteer rape crisis advocates who provide psychosocial support, information and advocacy for sexual assault patients. In New York City, the Health and Hopsital Corporation (HHC) and organized its SAFE programs into SARTs or Sexual Assault Response Teams. Each SART serves the HHC Emergency Departments in a specific borough.
Emergency Rooms with SAFE programs are different from basic hospital care because they focus on:
- Providing psychological recovery.
- Providing comprehensive and consistent post-assault medical care.
- Collecting forensic evidence accurately.Improving the prosecution of sexual assault cases.
- Bringing multiple service providers together to provide comprehensive care.*
