Support for Victims of Sexual Assault and Others Dealing with Traumatic Stress: A Message from the Trauma Response Network

You Are Not Alone When Dealing with Traumatic Stress

By Patricia Contente and Paulette Renault-Caragianes

assaulted, reaching out for help can be the first step towards healing. The

it. Even those who do not have a personal history that has been impacted by
sexual assault can find themselves dealing with a range of emotions—anger,
sadness and worry.
