Gentle mental health support for survivors of relationship abuse or sexual assault, including on campus.
Healing after sexual assault or abuse takes time, and it rarely moves in a straight line. This companion guide explains how these experiences can affect mental health, normalizes common trauma responses, and points you toward care that helps.
Inside, you'll find:
How abuse and sexual assault can affect mental health, and why healing is possible
Common responses to trauma, from sleep changes to trouble focusing at school or work
Who may face greater risk, framed around barriers, never blame
Ways to care for yourself, including trauma-informed therapy options
Crisis lines, mental health support, and campus resources, like counseling, confidential advocates, and Title IX
You don't need a diagnosis, and you don't need to have "moved on" to deserve care.
