Education from the Victim's Point of View

Sherrie Allsup, founder of Courage Starts With You foundation, is a sexual assault survivor, speaker, and educator. Through expert knowledge and personal storytelling, she empowers attendees across the country to approach incidents and victims of sexual assault with skill and compassion.

As a survivor of sexual assault, Sherrie knows firsthand the lasting effects of trauma. Her goal is to inform and educate victims, first responders, and communities about the unique aspects of addressing this devastating crime. 

"Your training was an excellent reminder to me to not let empathy fatigue prevent me from being compassionate, both with victims and with their family. What you both said regarding how to treat victims, treat them like you would want your mother to be treated, really stuck with me."
Rachel Shackelford, Chief Deputy County Attorney
La Paz County Attorney’s Office
