Self-Care

The impacts of sexual violence can have physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual effects. Consciously taking care of yourself can be helpful to recovery. This means taking care of yourself and doing things that feel good.

Find the strategies that are right for you, such as:

Drinking Water
Eating Healthy
Spending time with friends you trust
Sleeping
Coloring
Listening to music
Exercise

Here are some resources that you may find meaningful in feeling through what you need to feel comforted and well.
