Here at Orange County Rape Crisis Center, we engage with our community and clients with the recognition and understanding that each individual faces a unique set of potential barriers and challenges. Right now, during the outbreak of the respiratory disease coronavirus/COVID-19, members of our community are forced to make changes to their daily lives and routines, some as minor as cleaning more vigorously, and others as significant as facing unemployment and housing instability. We recognize that many different kinds of trauma are related, and the effects of which don’t always show up in one way. During this time when isolation and social distancing cause unique and unprecedented stressors, the need for multifaceted support increases. OCRCC has been working to compile accessible resources for survivors of trauma, in the many forms it may take. We hope to provide information, resources, entertainment, and ways to connect with others who have similar feelings and fears.
