Survivor Support Packet Resources
A guide for survivors and how you can stand strong.
What is Survivor Support?
We know that many people with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities are survivors of sexual abuse.
What is sexual abuse? Sexual abuse is when someone does something sexual to you without your permission. It can also mean that someone makes you do something sexual to them without your permission. We call the person that sexual abuse happens to, a victim and/or a survivor.
Other words for sexual abuse are sexual assault and sexual violence.
Sometimes, people are not believed when they say they were abused. We believe you and want to help.
If you or someone you know is a victim, here is a packet of resources and tools to help with getting support and healing.
You are not alone. We see you and we’re here to help.
