I have myself been a victim of sexual assault. After the incidents, I felt lonely, ashamed, angry, and mostly, powerless. I was very lucky to have good support available to help me work through these situations and how they affect my everyday life. These incidents have had short-term and long-term effects on my life. Certain situations still trigger anxiety and memories and can sometimes make it hard to live life fully. I want to help others be able to obtain that support because I have seen how devastating it can be to live with the weight of memories and negative feelings and how hard it is to navigate life after. Proper support is vital at every point after the incident and I believe the Survivor’s Trust is doing a good job of helping people get the support they need.
