OUR NEXT TRAUMA TRAINING TUESDAY:
LEGAL RESPONSE TO SEXUAL ASSAULT: SURVIVOR INSIGHTS FOR SYSTEM CHANGE
TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 12-2pmET
In the wake of sexual assault, survivors often turn to the legal system seeking protection, accountability, and justice. Most encounter a process that is confusing, retraumatizing, and deeply invalidating, adding further harm. This Trauma Training Tuesday centers survivor voices to examine how systems can compound trauma, how institutional betrayal affects healing, and how professionals can better align legal responses with trauma-informed principles.
Trauma-responsive educator Melanie Lynn Brown is joined by Survivor Advocates Heather Prunier and Lynn Kee to explore how legal and institutional systems shape survivors’ experiences after sexual assault. Together, they offer lived insight and professional expertise to deepen understanding of trauma, institutional response, and pathways toward more compassionate systems.
