Survivors can respond to assault in many ways. Everyone copes in their own way and coping strategies represent the survivor’s best efforts to deal with trauma. The survivor is not to blame, no matter where they are, what they are doing or what they are wearing. #WeBelieveMB #SAAM

The #YouAreNotAlone website provides information and resources to help #SupportSurvivors of sexual violence, their family and friends. Learn more at https://bit.ly/2nASbAO. #SAAM2021

Did you know that not all survivors of sexual assault feel comfortable reporting the assault? They may feel powerlessness, shame, fear of stigma, and fear of retaliation from the offender. We believe that survivors are in charge of their own story. #WeBelieveMB #SAAM2021

April is sexual assault awareness month. Please read our Executive Director, Nicole Chammartin’s blog on the role that Klinic plays in supporting sexual assault survivors and their supports. #SAAM2021 https://klinic.mb.ca//sexual-assault-awareness-month-webe/

CTV news interviewed Jerra from our sexual assault program on understanding the effects is sexual assault #SAAM2021 #WeBelieveMB

The effect of the non-consensual distribution of images can be traumatic. Many survivors are re-victimized in their school, workplace or community due to victim blaming. The focus should never be on the victim, rather the person who distributed the image without consent #SAAM2021

Today is Non-Consensual Distribution of Intimate Images Awareness Day. Sharing an intimate photo without consent is sexual violence. People who have been victimized have the right to get support. #WeBelieveMB #SAAM2021

Wishing a blessed and generous month to those who celebrate Ramadan #RamadanMubarek
