Sexual Assault Survivors’ Bill of Rights Became Federal Law 10/7/2016 https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/5578/text 1. The rights of a survivor should never be contingent on reporting or pursuing legal action. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with trauma and these fundamental rights must be protected for every survivor. 2. Every survivor has a right to a sexual assault counselor; waiving the right to a counselor in one instance does not negate this right. 3. Fair and efficient rape kit procedures are a must. It is unacceptable that a kit might be misplaced or destroyed; to prevent this and delays, a tracking system must be developed. 4. There must be standard procedures for ensuring that survivors are informed of their rights. 5. In assessing the effectiveness of this policy and future policies, diverse voices and communities must be included in the conversation. The bill establishes a task force that includes representatives from communities of color, immigrant communities, organizations that conduct outreach/education/advocacy for BGLQT individuals, survivor advocates, law enforcement, and a SANE nurse. Thank you Amanda Nguyen, for spearheading this, and all who helped.
I, too, remember that feeling. You are caught between all that was and all that must be. You feel lost.

I’ve been really into incorporating art/creativity into note taking (especially for anatomy)! Not only does it make me more inclined to start studying but it also makes it easier for me to learn/retain what I just studied. P.s. Please give me credit when you share/repost pls
My birthday had a pretty sky! Even though I had a really bad birthday, at least now I know there was beauty somewhere that day.

History repeats.
The PTSD is strong in this one.
1. Choose to like, love, value, and believe in yourself. Choose to be your greatest allay – and the best friend you could have.
2. Ask a good friend if they’ll tell you what they like about you most. Then believe what they are saying – don’t just push their words aside.
3. Commit to discovering what you’re good at and enjoy, then invest time and energy on developing those traits.
4. Don’t exalt others’ gifts as if they matter more than yours. Every talent is important. Don’t right off your personal strengths.
5. Learn to show yourself compassion when you struggle or you fail. And remember “you are human” - so you’re going to make mistakes.
6. Notice ways that you are growing … ways you’re changing over time. Give yourself some credit for this – you are different from before.
