Sexual Assault from A-Z: A Guide to Terminology and Resources for Survivors and their Allies (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798823001830)

In the aftermath of a sexual assault, it is normal for survivors and those that support them to find it hard to define their experience or put their thoughts and feelings into words. It may be difficult to make decisions around how to move forward or begin the healing process. Navigating the responses of the health care system, legal system, justice system, in addition to family and community systems can be overwhelming for both survivors and their allies. This book is a brief but comprehensive guide of common terminology, statistics, and resources relating to the current rape-crisis movement. In an attempt to shine a light on the potentially confusing and re-traumatizing landscape of interventions that provide services to survivors, Sexual Assault from A-Z fosters empowerment and de-stigmatization in order to help survivors and their allies make sense of their experience of sexual assault, and to demonstrate to survivors that they are not alone.
