#30daysofSAAM “DIY SAAM” There are a lot of things that are DIY here at the studio..but I think one of the most important notes I want to leave you all with about Sexual Assault Awareness Month is that you don’t have to do it yourself or feel alone. It’s okay to need help and to ask for it. It's why I'm highlighting the incredible beacon of light that is @lakeview_victimservices . They are a certified Sexual Violence program that provides a 24-hour helpline, Information and referral, Crisis intervention, Advocacy, Support groups, personal growth groups, and therapy for survivors of sexual assault. Recovering from the trauma of sexual assault takes so much internal work, but I don’t think I could ever have completely processed, yet alone begin healing properly without the guidance and support of @lakeview_victimservices program. From the first intake meeting, through months of EMDR therapy, they have helped me slowly take back my life and my passion and I will forever be grateful for their program and the individuals who steer it. You don’t need to DIY when it comes dealing with sexual violence. If you are in the Santa Rosa or Escambia County area and need help you can call Lakeview 24/hr helpline 850.433.7273 — RAINN also has a national hotline that you can call which will connect you to a local crisis center for help 800.656.HOPE (4673)

**content warning: sexual assault “My first experience I was a senior in high school, I hadn’t had sex before, and I was hooking up with this guy. It started consensually but it turned...non-consensual. He started having sex with me and in that moment I froze. I wasn’t able to do anything. That’s something I really struggled with, the idea that I should have been able to do something more, I should’ve been able to shout at him or get him off.” • “The second time, I was at a bar with some friends my freshman year of college. Some man essentially drugged me, I don’t really know exactly what happened. My sister was home and saw these three men come in with me and she tried to stop them. They took me to the basement and my sister came down and I was just naked on the floor. I have no idea what happened. That’s one of the scariest and hardest things for me to process because I just don’t have the memory. These people have taken that away from me. Not only do I not know what they did to my body, but they took away my memory.” • “I think the hardest part about my assault was the pain it caused other people. My mom was one of the first people I told. I waited a month to tell anyone because I just wasn’t able to come to terms with what happened. Seeing how upset it made my mother — that was honestly what made me so mad. But now, anytime I feel uncomfortable about what happened or about any relationship, I know I can go to her. There’s not this “Oh, I’m your mother, I don’t wanna hear about anything related to sex,” because she knows I was raped, and the fact that my mom is willing to be there for me has been so powerful. Our relationship actually grew stronger because of this. I can just call and talk to her about anything and I know she’ll be there.” - Ellie S. #HumansforConsent #SAAM #30DaysofSAAM #HFC

END VICTIM BLAMING #30daysofSAAM Long post. I just wanted to say thank you before you even begin reading. I’ll be taking a little break from SAAM post for the weekend after this heavy topic. Victim-blaming places the blame for domestic violence, rape, and sexual assault squarely on the victim. Challenging victim-blaming norms is difficult because it happens instinctively. From refusing to believe a domestic violence victim by saying ‘I wasn’t there so I don’t know’ to teaching girls to avoid alcohol when they socialize, putting the job on victims to avoid abuse is a knee-jerk reaction for many people. Coming forward is trying enough, but reliving the experience every time someone demands it by asking the wrong question or making these statements... it’s devastating. So how can we take action to stop victim-blaming Believe: When victims try to speak out, they encounter disbelief, dismissal, and anger. So when a friend or family member tells you that they are being abused, believe them. If you’re the support, remember that the situation isn’t about you, how angry you are you couldn’t stop it, or worry about what you’re going to do.  Ask questions, but first… believe them. There’s a reason they came to you and shared. Be their support.  Accountability: People who are abusive or violent towards others often try to explain away their actions by blaming the victim. Instead of reinforcing the abusers victim-blaming, stop them from using excuses like alcohol or misreading a situation.  Challenge Norms: There will be other people who will believe the perpetrator, especially friends and family members who can’t reconcile the individual they know with the action taken against another person. They will defend the abuser by lashing out at the victim. When this happens, remind the victim-blamers that it was the perpetrator who made the choice to abuse. These are just a few ways disrupt the norm. Please feel free to comment below with more ways to challenge and end victim blaming* resources from The Pixel Project , NSVRC

(2/2) *cw: description of a sexual assault* - “They thought it was statutory rape, since he had a fake ID that said he was 22. They called my parents to come pick me up. In this moment I was still too drunk to process what had happened. They said his dick was out and he was on top of me and I denied it. I sat in a tent being questioned while he sat across from me; he kept winking at me and smirking. Finally my parents got there. I remember I had to leave but he was allowed back in the concert. Why did I have to leave when he raped me, but he was allowed back in? Even though the police saw him raping me, they let him stay. When I tried to report it later they told me there was too much grey area. The police were there, they saw it, yet still too much grey area. It made me feel like what happened to me was not valid.” • “It has been 4 1/2 years. I am still processing and still working every day to get over this situation. You never realize how many things can come from a sexual assault; there are so many side effects that aren’t talked about. It took me a long time to realize it was not my fault - me drinking or wearing short shorts and a crop top did not make it my fault. It was hard to feel worthy after I felt violated and dirty but what I had to realize is, what other people did to me did not define me or my self-worth. Healing is a bumpy process, it takes time. Although sometimes it feels like it will never get better, I realize how much I have grown and changed. I am still here, I am living. I refuse to let some boy with piercing blue eyes and a smirk ruin my life.” - Ciaran Q. #HumansforConsent #30DaysofSAAM #HFC #SAAM
