Empowering Wellbeing Through Connection
When someone experiences sexual violence, the pain doesn’t end with them. Parents, partners, friends and other loved ones often struggle with their own emotions — confusion, fear, helplessness — and want desperately to support the survivor but don’t always know how.
That’s why Brave Step created the Loved Ones program, a first-of-its-kind resource offering guidance, empathy and practical tools to help allies walk alongside a survivor.

The Loved Ones program is a pioneering initiative designed to provide comprehensive support to those affected by sexual violence.
