Rape has a lasting impression on anyone who experiences it, whether that is the victim, the victim's family, friends, co-workers, neighbors or acquaintances. SOAR's main goal is to relate to others the tremendous impact the crime of rape has on all of us. Rape is not over when the rapist leaves that is just the beginning. If you are a survivor visiting this page know that you are not alone. If you are a family member or a friend looking for information please know that you are not alone either.
SOAR encourages everyone to seek counseling.
Counseling is vital to the healing process for everyone involved. The YWCA of the U.S.A. and Pfizer Inc launch Moving Past Trauma - PTSD Community Outreach Program.
