Every Response Matters

Your words of encouragement to survivors of sexual assault can make all the difference

Survivors of sexual assault often first confide in friends, family members, and health care providers. As a proud supporter of Start by Believing, Saint Luke's Clinical Forensic Team is specially trained to care for survivors, but the first response can be crucial to whether a survivor seeks care at all.

We invite you to submit a few words of encouragement or affirmation in the fields below to support survivors. Submissions can be submitted anonymously. Your words may be shared to promote healing and education in the community.
