CHANGES TO CRISIS SERVICES: Victim services are being shifted as a result of guidance issued by Gov. Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Public Health with the coronavirus outbreak to minimize the risk of virus transmission.

Mercy Health has been required to suspend on-call rape crisis services to the hospital until further notice. Survivors who go to the hospital will be connected with an advocate over the phone. Patients also will be offered resource information for follow-up services upon discharge.

Rape crisis services, including the 24/7/ 365 Crisis Line, is still functioning and staffed.

For victims of domestic violence, advocates will be available at Sojourner House to talk confidentially. The shelter remains open at this time.

The rape crisis line can be reached at 330-782-3936 and Sojourner House at 330-747-4040.
