Keepin' It TealMadison Brooks and Her LegacyLaFASA talks with Ashley Baustert, mother of Madison Brooks, the LSU sophomore who was sexually assaulted and left on a dark highway without a cell phone. Ashley talks about who Madison was and how she continues to make a difference in the lives of others through the Madison Brooks Foundation. LaFASA is always impressing the point that prevention lies in stopping the power imbalances that result in assault. However, that doesn't diminish the importance of by-stander intervention. Bystander intervention is in real-time prevention efforts. For information about how you can help as a bystander, visit LaFASA's page here.

Service dogs are even better! :DDogs are the best. It's been shown that the friendship of a dog can decrease stress, increase endorphins, and increase our life expectancy. For those who have suffered trauma in some capacity, dogs are especially beneficial and Service Dogs can enhance their independence and healing process in ways other methods, such as counseling and therapy, can't. However, service dogs can be incredibly expensive (and rightly so) and without the help of grants or loans, many are not able to experience that type of companionship. This poses a hurdle, that for some is too high to clear.

This is important in the sexual assault movement because when people are put in compromised situations, such as facing homelessness or being on "the streets," they are in survival mode which can lead to actions that result in sexual assault, among other victimizations.
