Excerpt from my presentation on Male Survivors of Sexual Violence: My Story and How to Help (1 CEU hour):
Sexual Violence Reality Check
– Sexual violence can happen to ANYONE regardless of gender or age.
– Offenders can be of any gender or background.
– Physical arousal is not consent.
– Healing is non-linear.
– Trauma cannot be “walked off”.
– Survivors are the only experts in their own experiences.
– It is never too late to ask for help.
