Since this seems pretty timely, I figured I’d go ahead and post the National Child Traumatic Stress Network‘s recently published fact sheet, Why Don’t They Tell? Teens and Sexual Assault Disclosure. Obviously, it’s bigger than this moment in history, but the way folks are talking right now (e.g. on cable news, any social media platform), it’s clear not everyone understands the underlying issue.
Have you checked out the FHO store lately? You can find our newest research brief, Aging Bruises Based On Color, plus our original guide, Injury Following Consensual Sex. Both available now for electronic download.

Thanks Jen, this subject is so important and so relevant. Slate published this article recently. Our colleague Heather Hlavka discusses how sexual violence for teens is commonplace and further describes her work with teenage girls, great read for Forensic Nurses. https://slate.com/human-interest/2018/09/why-teenage-girls-dont-report-sexual-assault.html
