Paris, Tenn.–In recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, staff at the Henry County Health Department participated in Denim Day. Denim Day is a rape prevention education campaign that raises community awareness about the devastating impacts of sexual violence and how to prevent it. Through the Offices of Criminal Justice Programs, federal funding is provided to 22 agencies serving survivors of sexual assault throughout the state of Tennessee. In the last year, these agencies provided support to more than 19,900 survivors of sexual assault. The Sexual Assault Center launched the Tennessee Statewide Sexual Assault Hotline in July of last year, with OCJP funding. If you or someone you know has experienced sexual assault, call 866-811-7473 for support. Text chat is available at www.believehealrise.org.
