Get Help Now
Your life is important, no matter what you have done or what has been done to you. There is help. Siblingsexualtrauma.com and 5WAVES do not have the ability to give counsel on your individual situation, but in the list below, you can find someone who will. We encourage you to make that call or type that text, if you are on a device and in a space that is safe to do so.
All “Helplines” offer live help from a real person, by voice, text, chat, various apps, or email. Some are available 24/7, others are staffed during limited hours. They are anonymous and confidential. They will not ask you for personal information and they cannot report to law enforcement unless you choose to tell them names and locations. Other resources listed below can help you find long-term help and healing.
