Domestic violence and sexual assault are complex issues. Wellspring staff are available 24-hours a day to help individuals process their experience so they can determine what is right for themselves. All of our services are free and confidential.
Never hesitate to give us a call 24/7 – 518-584-8188.
An individual does not have to be physically injured to receive services from Wellspring. Our goal is not only to respond to victimization, but also to intervene to prevent future abuse.
Can the fit of your pants be an excuse for rape?
Denim Day began in 1992, when an 18 year old girl was raped by her driving instructor who took her alone in the car on an isolated road during her first driving lesson. Since she was wearing very tight jeans the Italian Supreme Court ruled that it was not rape but consensual sex because she had to help him remove the jeans.
At Wellspring we believe there is no excuse and never an invitation to rape. We support awareness for this day and wear denim for Sexual Awareness Month.
