The Leila Grace Foundation is a nonprofit organization that provides prevention programs for campus safety to colleges. Its main focus is to provide education which can reduce the risks of sexual assaults on college campuses.
"Uncovering the Truth" is now available to be viewed on the Leila Grace Foundation Website and Youtube.
"Uncovering the Truth" embodies the message of digging deep into the college student's mind and allowing them to share their views on sexual assault, consent, gender roles, and many other issues that all contribute to the cycle of sexual violence that is plaguing college campuses. It also allows a strong survivor an opportunity to finally tell her story to inspire others to come forward to speak the truth about the state of our students in America. Speaking the truth is part of the solution because seeing the truth is needed to allow everyone the chance to realize the changes that must be made in our society to truly be free of violence and sexual assault.
Sexual assault on college campuses can be prevented through insightful discussions between young men and woman. The Leila Grace Foundation, film cast members and Ryan Johnson (Film Maker) has created the short film to get the conversation started.

New article on Empathy by Becky Carter LCPC
Here is a great article on The Lack of Empathy for Survivors by our wonderful advisory board member Becky Carter, LCPC. Lack of Empathy for Survivors.
What To Do
If you have been sexually assaulted, you should:
1. Get to a safe place away from your attacker. 2. Call a friend or family member, anyone you trust for support. 3. Receive medical treatment, including a rape kit. 4. File a police report. 5. Realize that this was a crime and no one deserves to be raped. You did everything you could have. Seek out mental health counseling. 6. Give yourself time to heal. You will survive this.
