Mental health support plays a vital role in healing after sexual violence. Trauma-informed counseling, advocacy, community, and compassionate care help survivors rebuild resilience and hope. Every survivor deserves access to support that honors their healing journey.

Prevention starts with conversations about consent, respect, healthy relationships, and emotional wellbeing. By supporting mental health and creating safer communities, we can prevent sexual violence before it occurs. Everyone has a role in building a culture rooted in dignity and accountability.

Many survivors of sexual violence face barriers to mental health support, including stigma, cost, lack of access, fear of not being believed, and systems that are not trauma-informed. Survivors deserve safe, affordable, culturally responsive care that supports healing without judgment.

During National Mental Health Awareness Month, ICESA honors the strength and resilience of survivors of sexual violence. Healing is not linear, and no one should walk that journey alone. By promoting compassion, support, and access to care, we can help survivors reclaim hope and the future they deserve every day.

Jules Grable, MS, joins ICESA to discuss how victim advocates are well-versed in how the brain and body respond to crisis. However, understanding the biology of survival is only the first step. This session moves beyond the acute trauma response to explore the science of hope, healing, and repair. We will examine how neuroplasticity and the "science of hope" can help survivors move out of a state of perceived permanent threat and toward sustainable recovery. By reframing our support through the lens of neurobiology, advocates can provide survivors with a practical toolkit to recalibrate their nervous systems, reclaim their sense of safety, and begin the intentional journey of healing.

Julianne (Jules) Grable is Director of Student Advocacy at Butler University, where she chairs the campus care and behavioral intervention team and coordinates wraparound support for students of concern. She provides crisis response and advocacy for students, including survivors of sexual misconduct, and has over a decade of experience in violence prevention and crisis management. An adjunct faculty member, Jules teaches Mindfulness in Everyday Life and I’ve Got That Main Character Energy: Bouncing Back from IRL Plot Twists. She holds a master’s in Student Affairs and Higher Education, a graduate certificate in Applied Educational Neuroscience, and is a MIEA Mindfulness Instructor and 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher.
