Applying Neuroscience to Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention
April marks Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), a time to reflect on how we can come together to better prevent and respond to sexual violence. This month, we’d like to highlight some of the recent findings from neuroscience research that will help us better understand the factors contributing to sexual assault, particularly among adolescents and young adults. With this knowledge, we can work towards avoiding victim-blaming attitudes and instead focus on more constructive approaches to supporting survivors and preventing future incidents.
