| Individual, short-term counseling is available to any survivor of sexual assault over the age of 12, regardless of the age at which the assault occurred. Counseling provides survivors with a supportive environment for exploring their thoughts and feelings about their experience of sexual assault. Individual counseling is also available to friends, family members, and partners of survivors so that they can have a safe place to process and gain positive ways to support the survivor. |
