Sexual Assault Awareness and Recovery Guide for StudentsIf you need to talk to someone now, the National Sexual Assault Telephone Helpline is 800-656-HOPE (4673) or you can text HELLO to 741741 to reach the Crisis Text LineEvery 98 seconds another person is sexually assaulted, but according to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, only 28 percent of those who are will report it to the police. Of those cases, only 6 in every 1,000 perpetrators actually spends time in prison. This is why it’s so important to understand what sexual assault looks like. This guide helps raise awareness and educate students, parents and educators on how to change the culture surrounding sexual assault, in order prevent further violence and to better support survivors as they heal and recover. Adopting a zero-tolerance attitude towards violence starts with everyone.
