Books, Documentaries & Films

Healing looks different for everyone. There is no one single path forward. These books, documentaries, and films have helped us better understand our own experiences and trauma responses, given us a greater understanding of the lifelong impacts of sexual violence, and supported our healing journeys. We hope these resources will provide knowledge, validation, comfort, and hope to others as well.

Content Warning: Many of the resources listed here discuss sexual violence, trauma, abuse, and their lasting effects. Some include graphic or emotionally intense content that may be difficult to read or watch. We encourage you to explore these resources at your own pace and to prioritize your well-being. It is always okay to take a break, skip a resource, or come back to it when the time feels right.
