External Crisis Resources for Survivors of Violence
If you have experienced violence, please know that you are not alone - and you don't have to go through it alone, either.
Remember that what happened is not your fault, and your safety is the most important thing to consider. If you are feeling unsafe, consider reaching out to someone you trust for support.
