From mosaicgeorgia.org/crisis-intervention-advocacy ↗About this program
When someone experiences a personal violation of sexual harm, many emotions and thoughts run through one's mind. The experience is complicated when the person who coerced or forced the abuse/assault is part of the victim's family, work or social group. Advocates are safe to talk to and explore options. There is no judgment. Adults may choose to receive services without reporting to law enforcement.
Mosaic Georgia complies with the Georgia mandated reporting requirements under OCGA 19-7-5.
Our team provides special services for victims of commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC), also known as human- or sex-trafficking. We coordinate with child welfare and law enforcement agencies and work with the youth and their families.
Our team of advocates provide direct and indirect support by phone or in person to victims and their non-offending caregivers/family members during a time of crisis. The 24-hour crisis line is also accessible to law enforcement and other professionals in need of services and information.
