April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month (SAAPM) and now more than ever it is vital for individuals and communities across the country to engage with this issue that affects nearly every household in America. Supervised visitation providers are on the unique forefront of working with both children and adult survivors, and should be equipped with a deeper understanding of the prevalence of this trauma along with awareness and connection to resources for clients and professionals to deepen your SV practice in this area.
