What Should I do If I am a victim of incest? (English and (Kreyòl)

First, remember this:
What happened is not your fault. No one ever deserves to be abused. You do not have to face this alone. There is help available.

What You Can Do

Tell a trusted adult about what happened.
If you do not feel comfortable talking to a parent, you can speak with:

• A teacher or school counselor
• A friend’s parent
• Your doctor
• A trusted religious leader (pastor, priest, rabbi, imam, etc.)

If you do not have any trusted adults in your life, you can call us for help and guidance.

CUASVAHH, Inc.
We are here to help you find the support and protection you need.

If you are in the United States, you can also call Child Protective Services (CPS) for your area. Even if you are over 18, CPS may still be able to assist.

If you are not sure how to reach them, call CUASVAHH at 1-888-735-3536, and we will help you find the CPS number for your location. You can also find CPS contact information in the Blue Pages of your local phone book. Your local police department can also help connect you to CPS.

Be Prepared

Not every adult, even those you trust, will be able or willing to help. You may need to talk to more than one person before you find someone who listens and takes action. Do not be ashamed. The person who hurt you is the one who should feel shame — not you.

We Are Here for You

If you need someone to talk to or help thinking through your options, call CUASVAHH at 1-888-735-3536.

Remember:

• You are not alone.
• This is not your fault.
• Help is available.
• All communication with us is confidential.

Kijan pou jwenn èd si ou viktim abi seksyèl oswa ensès

Premyèman, sonje sa byen:
Sa ki rive ou pa fòt ou. Pa gen moun ki merite sibi abi seksyèl. Ou pa oblije pote chay sa pou kont ou. Chèche èd. Gen moun ki vle tande ou epi ede ou.

Kisa pou w fè

Rakonte yon granmoun ou fè konfyans sa k rive ou.
Si ou pa santi ou alèz pale ak paran ou, ou kapab pale ak

• Yon pwofesè oswa konseye lekòl
• Paran yon zanmi ou fè konfyans
• Yon doktè
• Yon lidè relijye tankou pastè, prèt, oswa iman

Si ou pa gen okenn granmoun nan lavi ou ou santi ou ka fè konfyans, rele nou pou nou ede w jwenn èd imedyat.

CUASVAHH, Inc.
1-888-735-3536, (RELE 536)
Nou ka ede w kontakte Child Protective Services (CPS) oswa lòt sèvis pwoteksyon timoun nan zòn ou an, menm si ou gen plis pase 18 an.

Ou kapab tou

• Chèche nimewo Sèvis Pwoteksyon Timoun (CPS) nan Paj Ble liv telefòn ou
• Kontakte Depatman Lapolis lokal pou yo ede w jwenn CPS

Prepare tèt ou

Sonje, se pa tout granmoun menm sa ou fè konfyans yo ki pral kapab oswa dispoze ede ou.
Ou ka bezwen rakonte istwa ou a plizyè moun anvan ou jwenn yon moun ki pran li oserye e ki ka ede ou.
Pa wont. Se moun ki fè abi a ki sipoze wont.

Nou la pou ou

Si ou bezwen plis sipò, rele CUASVAHH nan 1-888-735-3536, voye yon mesaj sou Facebook, oswa voye yon tèks pou nou ka rele ou tounen.
