Sexual Assault

Survivors of sexual abuse have lived through unimaginable trauma, and their harrowing experiences take an immense toll, not just physically but emotionally and psychologically as well. When they do come forward for help, sometimes years after the abuse, it is an extraordinary act of courage, because they know that speaking out will force them to recall the most painful moments of their lives.
