Connecticut Resources for Victims of Sexual Abuse — Where to Turn
As you are most likely very well aware, the topic of sexual abuse in our country has been in the limelight all over radio, television, social media, and just about everywhere.
This kind of focus can give some strength to victims of sexual violence, however, many might not know where to turn. We have some resources if you or someone you love needs help to face the trauma, to seek legal help or to find long term personal assistance:
