Video 3: Long-Term Effects of Sexual Assault

The Men’s SAPR Campaign focuses on sexual assault experienced by male Service members. It addresses the personal impact and negative effects on readiness and unit cohesion when sexual assaults occur. The campaign also provides vital education and access to important resources to both SAPR professionals and victims of sexual assault.
All Service members deserve to work and live in a respectful, inclusive environment while serving our nation. While this campaign is focused on sexual assault of male Service members, it is inclusive of all Service members affected by sexual assault or at higher risk of sexual violence. This includes the experiences of women, racial and ethnic minorities, and LGBTQ+ Service members.
The campaign acknowledges Courage can take many forms. Coping and surviving with the aftermath of sexual assault takes Courage. The willingness to acknowledge the benefits of seeking available help and resources reflects Courage. There is Courage in moving through the healing process and finding your unique path to recovery. Courage is evident when a friend or loved one steps forward and offers to help. There is Courage in maintaining a command climate that prevents, responds to, and supports Service members who are affected by sexual assault or at higher risk of sexual violence. Courage helps us start over despite doubts and worries. We honor all these forms of Courage.
Powerful acts of Courage can fuel change.

Your military is an all-volunteer force that serves to protect our security and way of life, but Service members are more than a fighting force. They are leaders, humanitarians and your fellow Americans. Get to know more about the men and women who serve, who they are, what they do, and why they do it.

Release the so called 'classified' medbed technology already. They have the capability of removing trauma too. Mental health is just as important as physical health. Please 🙏

One of the biggest long terms impacts is when a person regrets consenting and decides it was assault instead of long-term planning and professionalism failure.

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

Sounds like that happened to you personally. Hope it ruined you.
