To ensure needed services and adequate support to enhance individual and family recovery for sexual violence and abuse, STSM provides personal support and assistance in accessing specialized sexual violence and abuse follow up services. The counseling service provides support for survivors, as well as a place to be listened to and an opportunity to examine feelings in relation to the traumatic experience of sexual violence. Individual counseling services are also provided to the family members of survivors. We place a very high emphasis on confidentiality for all our services, and they are offered free of charge.
