Sexual Violence Awareness Month Staff Spotlight. Abby Gillman is a prevention specialist and she shares how working with individuals affected by sexual violence has impacted her life. "Working with individuals who have been affected by sexual violence has made me understand that it truly can happen to anybody at any time, under any circumstance. Sexual violence has no specific criteria for who it happens to. I have also learned to realize that we never truly know what someone is going through or the support systems that everyone has in place." Thank you Abby for sharing and for emphasizing on the importance of support systems. If you or someone you know needs support, you're not alone. Services Empowering Rights of Victims offers free and confidential support in immense compacity to help those in need. Call 1-866-295-SERV (7378) (fb)
