Sexual violence and abuse can be incredibly traumatizing for victims. Even if the incident may have been reported to local authorities, you still may be suffering from emotional stress and physical injuries.

• Depression
• STDs or AIDS
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
• Flashbacks
• Thoughts of suicide or bodily harm

Most victims of sexual abuse and violence are women or young children; 1 out of every 33 victims is male. Victims of violence, especially younger children and young adults, often receive injuries in the course of the abuse. One of the first things a victim needs to do is receive medical attention from an emergency room or doctor, but these bills can quickly add up. Long-term monitoring may be necessary to ensure the mental well-being of the victim; unfortunately, psychiatric evaluations and therapy are not always covered under insurance policies.
