ALT Why is healing from sexual assault so challenging? Let’s talk about it.

ALT Studies show that people who have experienced sexual assault often report poorer mental and physical health, as well as a lower quality of life, compared to those who have not.

ALT For months or even years after the assault, survivors may experience: Shame and self-blame Emotional dysregulation Hypervigilance Difficulty sleeping Anxiety, depression, PTSD, or OCD Substance use disorders Eating disorders Interpersonal struggles

ALT Healing looks different for every survivor, but mental health support can be life-saving.

ALT May 6, 2026 testimony excerpt from Erin Pollitt, DCFNE Executive Director: “Victim services are a core component of public safety in the District. These services are not optional. They are legally required, medically necessary, and in many cases, lifesaving. The District must ensure that the existing victim services continuum is not only preserved on paper, but positioned to remain functional, accessible, and sustainable in practice.”
