Hi friend,
It’s Vera, your Wellness Features editor. April marks the beginning of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and while this is a topic Teen Vogue covers year-round, I want to use this as an opportunity to highlight some important resources for any survivors subscribed to our newsletter.
That’s why every Saturday in April, I’ll be sending you stories from other survivors about their experiences, guides on coping with trauma, and information for the allies around you.
Most importantly, I want to take a moment to remind you that regardless of the circumstances in which it occurred, sexual assault is #NotYourFault. You are not obligated to say or do anything, and you're not obligated to feel any specific way. Everything you feel is valid. Your priority is taking care of yourself and figuring out what you need in order to feel safe and supported.
Consider this my way of reminding you that you are not alone, and you have options.
