Sexual Abuse Survivor Resources

sexual abuse awareness

The period following sexual abuse or assault can be confusing and difficult. There are several organizations across the country that have resources to help individuals begin the journey to recovery — both national and local.

If an individual was abused while participating in an organization and the organization failed to protect him or her from sexual predators, he or she may be able to take legal action against that organization.

Below are some survivor resources that may be able to help individuals depending on their current needs.
