Healing Resources for Survivors Amid the Epstein File Release

In moments when headlines dominate the news cycle and powerful institutions control the narrative, survivors are often left to carry the emotional weight alone.

This toolkit was created to interrupt that pattern.

As public disclosures continue in connection to Jeffrey Epstein, we recognize that renewed media attention can surface anger, grief, confusion, numbness, or exhaustion. There has been little acknowledgment of the trauma survivors have endured, and the harm that can resurface as these stories circulate once again.

This toolkit includes access to digital healing support, crisis resources and community support options, to help regulate your nervous system, and provide you with care and direction as you navigate difficult or potentially triggering emotions.
