Sexual Assault

Talking about the Sexual Assault is the first and one of the hardest steps in healing from the pain of abuse.  You are not to blame yourself for the assault no matter how it occurred or how you responded to the assault. No one ever has the right to abuse you for any reason.

You are not alone:
