period may extend for several months or may recur years later. Sexual assault victims
often find it helpful to talkover their concerns with a counselor during these times.
Counseling is available through Mental Health at the victim's and/or family's request.

The Women's Coalition would like to be of assistance to you in any way. Please do not
hesitate to contact the Women's Coalition Office, at 773-9272 (773-WCSC) or your advocate.
