Will anyone I know find out I’ve been here?
We operate under complete confidentiality. If it happens that someone here knows your best friend’s aunt, your best friend or your best friend’s aunt will never know you were here unless you tell them. We know it’s hard to take the first step and we want you to know that we respect you for taking it.

The Alpha Center is, however, a mandatory reporter. This basically means that in any cases of statutory rape, when there are reasons to believe that you are in danger, or that you may put someone in danger, we are required by law to report these situations to local authorities. Feel free to ask your counselor more about this.
