BEGINNING THE HEALING PROCESS. . .

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.

Talking and actively 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.

Use this guide to help a person who has experienced violence make her or his own decisions. Suggest that the survivor consider utilizing campus and community resources to have her or his needs met.
