(Beaver County, PA)  April is National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Beaver County Radio has partnered with The Women’s Center of Beaver County to raise awareness about the topic.  Four weekly segments will air throughout the month with each focusing on different aspects of sexual assault.

 

Today’s installment is the final one in a four part series and deals with the subject of how often times follow up therapy following an assault can mean much more than just  talking about it.  Introducing physical activity can be a key factor in having a positive outcome. Beaver County Radio spoke with Jodie McGovern earlier in a live on air interview about this very subject and the potential impact of utilizing modal therapy in addition to traditional methods.  Ms. McGovern is a therapist available to victims of Sexual Assault through the Women’s Center of Beaver County.

The Women’s Center of Beaver County provides these services and welcomes inquiries.  Raising awareness of this valuable therapy service is all part of local initiatives from the Women’s Center of Beaver County to coincide with National Sexual Assault Awareness Month, which happens in April of every year.

For more information, call the Women’s Center of Beaver County at 724-775-0131. Help and counseling are available 24 hours a day.

Thank you for listening to this four part  special series is  from Beaver County Radio and The Women’s Center of Beaver County.
