Discussion List for campus-based and allied personnel working to end gender-based violence on campus.

["Harrington, Rebecca" <>]

Greetings all,
I got the following request from one of my faculty members and I'm kind of 
drawing a blank and was hoping that the list serv could come through on some 
good ideas for her. The faculty member is an adjunct in our communications 
department and also provides some counseling services at our community dv/sa 
crisis center. I told her about the book & movie "Speak". Does anyone out 
there have a resource they'd like to share?

Here's what she sent me: 
Do you know of good books written to help young teenaged girls who are 
recovering from date rape?  Particularly when the rape is their initiatory 
sexual experience? For example so they can see their own feelings and 
responses as natural, logical, understandable and normal? And maybe hear what 
other girls have been through?  And find hope that they can work through 
this?  As well as to help recognize that the body and emotions and mind may 
still be processing it and/or calling attention to a need for healing even 
when the conscious mind thinks it is "over it"?  Ideally I'd love to find (a) 
book(s) written to be read by the girl herself, not for the counselor or 
professional. Have any good movies been made about this issue?  Or good 
websites?  Is there a blogger out there touching on this?

Thanks,
