FORENSIC EXAMS for Sexual assault + domestic violence
The Family Justice Center’s HOPE Clinic offers forensic medical exams in a private, trauma-informed setting for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and non-fatal strangulation. Forensic exams include a health checkup, evidence collection, documentation of any injuries, and preventative medications for STIs, pregnancy, and HIV when applicable. All parts of the forensic exam are voluntary and led by the patient. A survivor advocate is available for support during the exam. Sexual assault exams should generally be performed within 5 days of the assault. The time frame for domestic violence can be longer based on the nature of the injuries and symptoms. Call our forensic program directly at 504-355-0857.
Behavioral health
At HOPE Clinic, we treat the whole individual. We offer psychiatric assessments, as well as psychotherapy with a licensed clinician.
