Unveiling Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence

As we take a pause on our anxiety series, we wanted to bring the
focus to overcoming the stigma of sexual assault. Over the past
few months, we have had an incredible team of individuals within
the MIND podcast dedicated to researching and prepping for a deep
dive into the topic of Sexual Assault. In this episode, we are
unveiling personal and public truths about sexual assault in a
collaborative effort to educate our listeners on a subject that
impacts all of our lives, whether we know it or not. Please join
us as one of our own team members, a second-year medical student,
discusses her experience with sexual assault and how she has
grown after facing adversity. Following her discussion, we are
incredibly thankful to have been able to interview Connie
Housely, a SANE nurse at the John Peter Smith hospital in Fort
Worth about her experience with sexual assault in Tarrant County,
what the forensic examination process entails, and how we as
future healthcare providers can prepare ourselves to treat sexual
assault survivors in the future. Our next episode will continue
the discussion on sexual assault so stay tuned.


Always know that we here at the MIND mental health podcast are
here for you. It is our goal to break these mental health stigmas
with you.
