WASAC is an amazing organization that helps those in Wichita who've been victims of sexual assault. They have a 24-hour hotline, advocates (who helps victims from the beginning of a rape exam through trial and beyond), educational program (which goes to schools and businesses to inform about what classifies as sexual assault and how to prevent it), and classes/meetings for survivors.
I was introduced to this organization when a speaker came into my college classroom. As a survivor of childhood rape I can't say enough good things about how beneficial this program is to victims and families of victims in our community as well as survivors from other areas!
