WHAT
NEXT? What to
do about Sexual
Assault
WHAT
NEXT? has been
developed in
partnership
by Community
Living Algoma,
Sexual Assault
Care Centre,
Sault Area Hospitals,
Shaw Cable,
Harmony Productions,
and Sault Ste.
Marie Police
Services through
a grant received
from Human Resources
Development
Canada.
People with
a developmental
disability are
more likely
to be victimized
than the average
person. Through
this video the
partners hope
that people
with a development
disabilities
will learn that
sexual abuse
and sexual assault
are wrong and
not their fault.
The video stresses
that it is important
to remember
to tell someone
you trust if
you have been
sexually assaulted
so that they
can help. What
Next? was developed
to be used as
a tool to inform
people with
developmental
disabilities
about what occurs
if you were
assaulted and
reported it.
The video's
main character
Janice has recently
been assaulted.
The video follows
her through
her initial
disclosure to
her roommate
who encourages
and assists
her to call
her worker;
the worker accompanying
Janice to the
Sexual Assalt
Care Centre
to meet with
the nurse who
explains her
rights and options,
and then accompanies
her to the hospital
where Janice
restates what
could occur
in the examination;
to her meeting
with the Sexual
Assault Counsellor
and finally
as a result
of her decision
to protect her
rights, Janice's
meeting with
the Police Officer.
Compassion,
caring and
respect for
Janice, the
victim are
shown throughout
the video
as well, her
rights as
the victim
to control
what is happening
to her are
emphasized.
The video
concludes
with information
specific to
Community
Living Algoma.
It is possible
to have the
video re-dubbed
with information
pertinent
to your area,
or stopping
the video
at that point
and providing
your specific
information
would be solutions
worth considering
as this video
very effectively
shows WHATS
NEXT!
