The Sexual Assault Center was established in 1975 to meet the growing demand for special services to victims of sexual assault and abuse. The Center operates on the principle that the needs of the victim are the primary concern and on the belief that the victim is not to blame for the assault or abuse. The Center treats persons of all ages and both sexes, helping victims and their loved ones begin the healing process.

The Sexual assault Center offers a full range of services to victims of sexual violence, free of charge

I wanted to add something important to those who seek help in Prince Georges County. The only hospital in the county that is capable of evidence collection after a sexual assault is PG Hospital Center in Cheverly (greater Landover area).

If you go to Doctors Hospital, Laurel Regional, Bowie Health, Southern MD, they will not be able to offer you a rape kit. They will stabilize any injuries and transfer you to PG.

I am not positive on this, but i think this may be the same case in DC. I think Howard is the evidence collection center for the district, but i am not positive on this.

Be mindful if you contact Police or EMS after an assault because you may not end up at the hospital you think you are going to, or if you decide to not tell police/fire and wait to get to the hospital to let anyone know, you may have to be transfered.

I do want to add though that PG has a great sexual assault center. i highly recommend them if anyone ever is in a position where they require their services, i fully believe you are in good hands with them.
