Resilience Can Help
We are here for you.
Please reach out if you need support.
We can help you with questions about seeking medical treatment in the ER after a sexual assault, filing an emergency order of protection, making a police report, seeking ongoing medical treatment, and understanding all of your rights and options. All of our services are free and confidential.
Please call us at 312-443-9603 or email us at info@ourresilience.org. We will contact you as soon as possible.
Programs & Services
Regardless of when and where a survivor’s journey begins—in the ER following an assault, or through a phone call for help to make sense of something that happened 20 years ago—Resilience is here every step of the way.
Through our trauma therapy program, medical advocacy, legal advocacy, and Resilience Training Institute, Resilience is here to help survivors during their time of need.

Myths & Facts

Professional Training Resources
Research shows providers’ responses can be critical in shaping the course of healing for survivors. Via its trainings and the Resilience Training Institute, Resilience provides resources and tools to professionals to improve the care of sexual assault survivors.
RESILIENCE Mission
Resilience is an Illinois not-for-profit organization made up of many individuals with two primary goals: to assure that survivors of sexual assault are treated
with dignity and compassion, and to effect changes in the way the legal system, medical institutions, and society as a whole respond to survivors.
