Treating the Wounds of Survivors of Sexual Assault on College Campuses
Abstract
This paper briefly explores the resources available on U.S. college
campuses for survivors of sexual assault. Data reported in the National
College Health Assessment II indicated that only half of the
participating U.S. institutions of higher education provided multiple
resources for their students whom were survivors of sexual assault. One
of these resources were mental health services. Although Cognitive
Processing Therapy is recognized as an evidence based therapy, little is
known about the inclusion of LGBT survivors in Cognitive Processing
Therapy groups or the resulting treatment outcomes.
