For Mental Health Providers
The trauma of sexual violence has far-reaching effects on the mental and behavioral health of survivors. PTSD, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance abuse disorders are among numerous challenges many survivors face in the aftermath of sexual violence. Sexual assault/abuse is the most common underlying issue faced by individuals seeking mental health services, and the resources available to professionals in meeting the needs of survivors are rapidly expanding. On this page, mental health professionals will find information and resources regarding national mental health organizations, trauma-informed care, best practices, legislation, and research. For additional information, or to suggest resources for this page, please email us at email@example.com.
