This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the foundation of the freedoms we hold today. 🇺🇸

As we reflect, we also recognize that service members face challenges beyond the battlefield. Sexual assault within the military remains a serious and ongoing issue, one that deserves awareness, accountability, and compassionate support.

We are committed to standing with survivors, including those who have served. To every service member and veteran who may be hurting: you are not alone. Support is available, and we are here for you. 💙

Your mental health toolkit might look different every day, and that’s okay. 🤍
Some days it’s a walk outside, other days it’s setting boundaries or reaching out for support. Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Be gentle with yourself this month (and always).

Understanding the criminal justice process can feel overwhelming, especially for survivors navigating trauma and uncertainty. This resource is meant to provide general education—not guarantees—while reminding survivors that healing, support, and safety matter just as much as legal outcomes. 💙
