Come see us at PAAR tomorrow!

Feeling overwhelmed? Unsure where to turn? Just need someone to talk to?

You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to know exactly what you need. And you certainly don't have to navigate it all alone. 🦋

Every Wednesday, PAAR opens our doors for Walk-In Wednesday, a welcoming, confidential space where survivors can connect with support, explore available resources, and take the next step toward healing, whatever that looks like for them.

Whether you're seeking crisis counseling, emergency case management, connections to community resources, or simply want to learn more about PAAR's services, we are here to meet you where you are.

🦋Every Wednesday | 9:30 AM – 5 PM
🦋PAAR South Side Office | 81 S. 19th Street

We're also grateful to partner with Allies for Health + Wellbeing to offer FREE rapid STI testing on-site.

And remember, support doesn't have to wait until Wednesday.

PAAR's confidential helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call or text (866) 363-7273, or visit paar.net to chat.

No question is too small. No conversation is insignificant. No reason for reaching out needs to be justified.

Whenever you're ready, PAAR is here.🦋
