LiveSafe Resources is dual-certified Sexual Assault Center through the State of Georgia which provides forensic sexual assault exams via a certified Forensic Nurse Examiner. The victim is also offered a trained sexual assault advocate to accompany them during the exam, and provide crisis intervention and ongoing support before, during and after the sexual assault forensic exam. These exams take place at the Wellstar Regional Sexual Assault Center located on the main campus of LiveSafe Resources or through area Wellstar hospitals, if appropriate. Referrals for this service come from Cobb, Cherokee and Paulding County Police Departments, CJCC, and other community/local partnerships including other municipalities, colleges/universities, and local agencies. Sexual Assault Forensic Exams (SANE) are directly referred from hospitals and law enforcement directly, which deploys the Sexual Assault Response Team comprised of an on-call SANE nurse + sexual assault advocate, to LiveSafe Resources to meet the victim on-site. Victims can also self-refer and request a SANE Exam directly through the Crisis Line. In Fiscal Year 2025, LiveSafe Resources performed 176 sexual assault and 6 strangulation forensic exams.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
