HOW CAN I GET MY LIFE BACK TOGETHER?
[Back]
It is important to note that individual responses to stress differ
greatly. Some individuals may bounce back from their victimization with
little or no outside assistance. Others may rely on friends and family
to see them through. Often, however, survivors find it helpful to
discuss their concerns and fears with others who have had similar
experiences. Your local sexual assault support agency or private
counselor can help you understand the fears you may have and the
feelings you may be experiencing. They also offer counseling and support
groups for sexual assault survivors. Your local Victim-Witness
Assistance Program can help keep you informed about the status of your
case or the location of the incarcerated offender. With information and
a healthy support system, many victims can begin to get their lives back
together.
