For 25 years The Julian Center has been an important resource for information about the impact of trauma on individuals and the communities in which they live. Educating ourselves and others about domestic violence, sexual assault, and childhood abuse is the first step toward positive change for all members of society.

In this section you will find a variety of helpful tools and information to assess and respond to abusive situations. Books, websites, community services, and national organizations concerned with eradicating abuse and assault are also listed here to support you, your loved ones, or your clients in the healing process.

An Important Note to Our Clients and Colleagues:

Please remember that while reading about these topics is therapeutic for many people, for some it can be problematic. In order to avoid being overwhelmed or retraumatized by reading matter, we suggest that survivors invite the guidance of a therapist or trusted support person when selecting books, articles, or websites. The Julian Center is not responsible for any emotional distress or adverse effects that reading any of these materials may cause.
