Message from Nicole
I founded Realistic Safety Solutions to prevent victimization. However, because I realize that I may be reaching many of you after you have already experienced victimization and because abuse and violence in our society will never be completely eradicated, I want you to have access to all the education and resources you need.

"Finding Your Voice"
Sungate Kids offers a program called "Finding Your Voice" for girls (12-15) who are victims of sexual abuse. Support groups like this can be extremely effective, particularly with adolescent girls, who turn to their peers more than to adults for support.
Victims of crime have the
right to be treated with fairness, respect and dignity.
