Aftercare Clinic
Patient Resources
The Adolescent After Care Clinic offers care to everyone between the ages of 13 and 22 years old who identifies as having experienced sexual violence and is seeking non-acute medical follow-up.
You are welcome to access services regardless of:
- Where your primary care doctor is located
- Whether or not you reported the event to anyone
- Whether you have sought or completed a sexual assault evidence collection
If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, you can contact the 24-hour Boston Area Rape Crisis Center (BARCC) hotline at 800.841.3871 for support on next steps. BARCC offers free and confidential sexual assault crisis counseling, and they have specially trained medical advocates who can meet you at the emergency room.
If the assault occurred less than five days (120 hours) ago, patients can be evaluated in the BMC emergency department, where healthcare providers can discuss options for prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, sexual assault evidence collection, and toxicology testing.
