A Happy Holiday For All...
Wednesday December 07, 2011
YW Sexual Assault Crisis Services encourages you to make this holiday season a happy one for ALL. If you are aware of someone being sexually assaulted, be an ACTIVE bystander - call 1-877-943-5778. In light of the Penn State sexual abuse tragedy, we are reminded of the important role bystanders have in sexual assault cases. The tragic, lasting story of sexual assault is the victim's story.
As stated by Sharon Shelton, Sr. Director Empowerment Services, regarding Penn State, "The victims whose own lives have been affected by childhood sexual abuse know that the continued impact of this tragedy is on the boys involved, on the men they will become and the long-term effects on their families and communities. Our challenge now is to find ways to help the victims and their families cope effectively with the ongoing trauma triggers prompted by the barrage of news coverage and its aftermath. Now is the time for everyone to break the silence of child sexual abuse, use this tragedy as a catalyst to act!"
IF you are aware of sexual assault, DON'T let it go on any longer... be an ACTIVE bystander.
