RSVP RESOURCES
Being a survivor of violence can leave a person feeling humiliated, angry or helpless. In fact, many survivors feel like they want to forget about the whole experience. Making decisions about how to deal with the experience can be an important step in healing and restoring a person’s sense of control over her or his life.
Below are some options for help. If you’re not sure where to turn, an RSVP advocate is available to discuss your options and support any decision you decide to make.
