Project SARAH aims to help sexual assault survivors who are experiencing ongoing distress after a recent sexual assault. This research study provides therapy to reduce trauma related symptoms such as nightmares or increased drinking. The study is designed to help us understand the types of treatment that are most effective in helping survivors recover.
