Did you know that almost 70% of all sexual abuse cases go unreported? This makes it difficult for victims to receive the help they need. That's why there should be a strong awareness campaign defining sexual abuse, and it starts with seeing a sexual abuse counselor.

For obvious reasons, your sexual health can suffer after a sexual assault or years of sexual abuse. That said, by working with a sexual abuse counselor, you can learn to separate your past sexual abuse from your current sexual relationship. Ready to reclaim your sexual health?

Unfortunately, many people who experience sexual violence, assault, or abuse turn to unhealthy outlets like drugs or alcohol to numb the pain, fear, and anxiety. But there's a better way: sexual abuse counseling can help you avoid the pitfalls of substance use.

Research shows that one in ten children will be the victim of sexual abuse before their 18th birthday. How old were you when you first realized you were the victim of sexual abuse?

[RACS @RACSJC]

A common myth. Child sexual abuse is not perpetrated by strangers; in fact, most people who sexually abuse are our friends, partners, family, and community members. About 93% of all victims of sexual abuse know their abuser. Do you know yours?

The helplessness--the powerlessness of sexual trauma can wreak havoc on your life, but you can take that power back! By working with a sexual abuse counselor, you can learn how to take back control so that you can lead a happy, healthy productive life again. Are you ready?

Like it or not, but refusing to use condoms or restricting someone’s access to birth control, as well as keeping someone from protecting themselves from sexually transmitted infections is sexual abuse. Threatening or pressuring them into unwanted sexual activity is also abuse.

Did you know that sexual contact with someone who is very drunk, drugged, unconscious, or otherwise unable to give a clear and informed
“yes” or “no” can be considered sexual abuse? https://t.co/Msx7uyaEtM

[RACS @RACSJC]

While rape or attempted rape are obvious examples of sexual assault, there are other things such as unwanted kissing, touching, or hugging, and unwanted rough or violent sexual or suggestive "play" that can be considered sexual abuse. What are your thoughts?

[RACS @RACSJC]

By definition, sexual abuse is sexual behavior or a sex act forced upon a man, woman, or child without consent. Furthermore, sexual abuse is an act of violence. Has anything like this ever happened to you?

A common myth about rape is that this crime is virtually always committed by a stranger, but statistics show that is not the case.
