How do I support a Sexual Assault Victim?"
1. Believe them! Listen & Be Supportive. (Promotes  Sanity & Safety)
2. Let them know that anything they tell you will stay between the two of you. (Builds Trust)
3. Make sure they are/feel safe. (Promotes Safety, Comfort, Trust)
4. Allow them to decide if they want to get medical care or report the assault. Talk with them about preserving evidence, (keeping the clothes they were assaulted in, not showering, not brushing teeth, putting soiled clothing in a PAPER bag, NOT PLASTIC etc.), getting a medical exam, (which doesn't mean they have to report it to the police)  They may want to think about pregnancy, HIV, STD's. (Promotes Empowerment)
5. Let them work through their feelings in their own time. (Promotes Empowerment)
6. Let them know that what they are feeling is completely "normal" (Promotes Soundness of Mind)
7. Let them make any decisions on their own & support those decisions. (Promotes Empowerment)
8. Continue to reassure them that you are there for them. (Builds Trust)
