There are few resources for those who have a loved one who endured sexual assault. No one knows what to say or where to turn. Here, we have a conversation with Allison Herman, mother to Brittney Herman, our co-host and We Will's founder. She discusses her experience navigating how to help Brittney on her healing journey and what she learned along the way. We hope you learn from her experience and can be better prepared to help those you love.
