RAPE & SEXUAL ASSAULT
Rape is a violent crime, an invasion, and a frightening experience. Rape affects all individuals, no matter what their age, race, or economic status. It is not unusual to experience feelings of helplessness, anxiety, frustration, guilt, self-blame or anger after a sexual assault. It is often helpful to talk with someone who is aware of all the issues involved (emotional and legal) and can help you deal with this difficult experience.
