Kate Swift compiled stories and essays by, for, and about survivors of sexual assault in the book Silent No More: A Collection of Works by Reaching Survivors of Sexual Abuse.  "This book is about a group of survivors and those who support them coming together to be a voice for the voiceless...to shed more light on what it takes to survive."

R.S.O.S.A. is an online community that serves "as an outlet for survivors to share their restoration experiences and to gain from peer to peer support."
