I'VE BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED...

If you have been sexually assaulted, Bravehearts is here for you.

While you may feel alone, ashamed, angry, guilty, confused and scared right now, you should feel proud of yourself for taking the brave step of seeking help.

It’s important that you know that what has happened to you isn’t your fault, that you can get help and that the person who assaulted you is/was breaking the law.

You aren’t alone. One in five people under the age of 18 has been sexually assaulted. If you are a young person under the age of 18 click here for information on what to do next.
