Oprah asks "National Post-trauma helpline/resource?

Morning,
I’m writing from O, The Oprah Magazine in SA. We’re featuring a letter from a rape survivor in our December Dr Phil advice column.
Is there a national helpline, website or resource a rape survivor could reach to find out about receiving post-rape counselling?
I know of the rape crisis website, but is this only CT based? The response to the letter urges the reader to go for counselling, as she’s clearly stilll suffering from PTSD.
Regards,

Hi Deidre,
She can write to us at SpeakOut and I will respond to her giving her advice about the best facility in her area - there are many organisations serving rape survivors but not all of them are good.
Or she can call Life Line's Stop Women Abuse Line it does not have a national number so she needs to look up the number of the Life line in her area, if it is a child the best organisation is Childline.
