After Mourdock comment local center offers support for rape victims

Posted:

Experts at crisis centers say the discussions about rape the last 24 hours after Richard Mourdock's comment can trigger a range of emotions for survivors.  Becky Callender at SOS of the Family Justice Center said they want to remind victims that there's help available no matter how they're feeling.  "It can be flashbacks or anxiety attack, panic attacks or just increased feelings of sadness or depression, hopelessness and things like that," said Callender.

SOS offers counseling and support groups for survivors.  They also have a 24/7 crisis line at 574-289-4357.  SOS is located at 711 E. Colfax Ave, suite 100 in South Bend.
