Subject: Family and Friends of survivors

Greetings all! Hope this email finds each of you well! I was hoping 
someone could give me some good resources they've used for friends and 
family of survivors of sexual violence? Most of what I've done focuses 
on the survivor and so outside of "basic" information to give to family 
and friends, I was looking for good websites, books, and other resources 
that gives a more indepth look at how to help a survivors family or 
friends.  Anything you could share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Elizabeth
