Medical Care & Forensic Exams

Medical care is available to support your health and well-being after sexual violence. A Medical Forensic Examination can be provided at Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children to address medical needs and, if you choose, preserve evidence.

You can receive medical care whether or not you decide to report the assault.

Medical support may include:

  • Treatment for injuries

  • Testing and prevention for STIs and HIV

  • Evidence collection (optional)

  • Support from a trained advocate during the exam

The SATC also provides medical examinations for children and adolescents up to age 18 and high-risk victims to evaluate sexual trauma and provide medical treatment if more than 120 hours has passed since the abuse. Appointments are required.


Crisis Counseling

Crisis counseling offers short-term emotional support after an assault. Counselors can help you process what happened, manage intense emotions, and find ways to feel safer and more supported.

Crisis counseling is available regardless of when the assault occurred.



Clinical Therapy

Longer-term, clinical therapy is available for survivors of sexual violence and their non-offending family members. Therapy can support healing, coping, and recovery over time.

Services are tailored to individual needs and may include:

  • Individual therapy

  • Family or supportive counseling

  • Ongoing emotional and mental health support


Hotline Services

If you, a friend, or a family member has been sexually assaulted, call us for help. Trained SATC crisis workers are on duty 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to provide confidential support, information, and advocacy.


You Choose the Pace

You don’t have to know which service you need right now. Many people start by talking with an advocate, who can help explain options and support you in making choices that feel right for you.

You can access one service, multiple services, or simply reach out for information.
