Describe the challenge you want to address:
Most people start becoming sexually active in high school without proper education and support. Students might experience sexual assault and won't know where to go for help. The trauma that comes with sexual assault is very difficult for a teenager to navigate on their own, and they may not have the tools to understand what happened and to heal from it. (Summary: Lack of resources and awareness about how to get help when sexual assault occurs)
What is the solution to the challenge?
Required service/program (workshops/classes) that spreads sexual assault awareness and education in schools. Should also offer support and counseling for victims of sexual assault
