Lean In and Learn 💡 | Sexual Violence & Mental Lean In and Learn 💡 | Sexual Violence & Mental Health Disparities Sexual violence doesn’t just harm bodies. It profoundly impacts minds, families and futures. Survivors are significantly more likely to experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use and suicidal thoughts. These mental health disparities are not coincidences. They are consequences. Yet too often, survivors face stigma and barriers to care instead of the support they deserve. At Brave Step, we meet this crisis head-on with trauma-informed mental health services, education and advocacy. Because wellbeing isn’t just possible — it’s urgent. Reflexiona y Aprende 💡 | Violencia Sexual y Desigualdades en la Salud Mental La violencia sexual no solo daña el cuerpo — también impacta profundamente la mente, la familia y el futuro. Las personas sobrevivientes tienen muchas más probabilidades de enfrentar depresión, ansiedad, TEPT (trastorno de estrés postraumático), consumo de sustancias y pensamientos suicidas. Estas desigualdades en la salud mental no son coincidencias — son consecuencias. Y sin embargo, con demasiada frecuencia, las sobrevivientes enfrentan estigmas y barreras en lugar de recibir el apoyo que merecen. En Brave Step, enfrentamos esta crisis con servicios de salud mental informados por el trauma, educación y defensa. Porque sanar no solo es posible — es urgente. #ReflexionaYAprende #SaludMental #ApoyoASobrevivientes #SinEstigma #BraveStep #RecuperaciónDelTrauma #LeanInAndLearn #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportSurvivors #EndTheStigma #BraveStep #TraumaRecovery
