TAKE THE PLEDGE

WHEN A VICTIM COMES TO YOU,
HOW WILL YOU RESPOND?

When someone tells you they were abused or sexually assaulted, knowing how to respond is critical. A negative response can worsen the trauma and foster an environment where perpetrators face no consequences for their crimes.

Start by Believing stops this cycle by improving our personal and professional reactions.

It all starts with you. Make your personal commitment to Start by Believing.

    I PLEDGE TO:

  • Start by Believing when someone tells me they were abused or sexually assaulted
  • Support survivors on the road to justice and healing
  • Help end the silence
