Coping With Trauma After Assault
Experiencing sexual assault leaves deep emotional and psychological scars that cannot be ignored. Survivors often carry feelings of shame, fear, or guilt, even though none of these emotions should belong to them. The trauma is never the victim’s fault. It is a result of someone else’s decision to take away their control, and healing begins with reclaiming that sense of safety and self. Every young woman deserves the chance to recover without stigma, and every survivor has the right to be believed, supported, and respected.
