HELENA – The Montana Department of Justice announced Tuesday it’s developed a new website and hotline for survivors of sexual assault.

It includes:

  • Links to survivor resources, including an interactive map to locate nearby services; 
  • Crisis phone numbers and contact information for local victim advocates;
  • Explanations of community-based advocate and system-based advocate roles;
  • Confidentiality information; 
  • Progress updates on the SAKI Task Force/Initiative; and
  • Sexual Assault Response Teams locations.
