Did you know? 💙

S*xual Assault Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness, support survivors, and continue important conversations. The statistics are powerful—and a reminder of how many individuals are impacted, often silently.

We encourage you to take a moment to learn more. One of our clinicians shared an insightful article yesterday that helps break down the realities, the impact, and ways to support yourself or someone you care about.

Knowledge leads to understanding—and understanding leads to support. 💚 If you or someone you know needs help, we’re here.
