Comprehensive Services to Sexual Assault Survivors
The Turning Point is the only organization in Collin County providing comprehensive services to sexual assault survivors. These services include:
- 24-hour crisis hotline: 1.800.886.7273,
- Hospital accompaniment for sexual assault victims,
- Crisis and justice/legal advocacy
- Individual and group counseling for adult and adolescent survivors
We also provide support for family and friends of survivors. Through these crisis, counseling, and advocacy services, we hope to promote comfort and healing to those who have experienced sexual assault.
At The Turning Point, we are also committed to increasing awareness of issues contributing to sexual assault while helping to reduce the frequency of sexual assault in our community. Hence, our staff and volunteers offer a variety of educational and training options to schools, civic organizations, law enforcement and medical personnel, businesses and community groups.
The Turning Point is a private, nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that provides services free of charge to those impacted by sexual violence. We are a member agency of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas.
