When a person faces the profound impact of trauma, it is understandable to feel overwhelmed and perhaps helpless.

For those who have experienced the trauma of sexual violence or are supporting a loved one through the healing process, there are resources available to help. Safer Society is dedicated to providing support and guidance for survivors of trauma through a range of publications.
