FEES: All counseling services are confidential and offered free to survivors, their family members and friends.
For persons in the Bay Area who are dealing with the trauma of a recent sexual assault, and the countless others who are only now beginning to deal with the aftermath of an earlier assault, BAWAR offers experienced counseling and advocacy 24-hours per day. For the survivor they have a listener who will not judge, criticize, or be easily shocked. In-person counseling for incest survivors, rape survivors, teenage rape survivors, and others whose children have been sexually assaulted enable BAWAR to address special and continuing needs. Accompaniment, advocacy, and support during the medical and judicial processes complete the response to the needs of the sexual assault survivor.
