Callisto Vault is a suite of tools designed to help survivors navigate barriers and define their own pathways toward healing and justice. Within Callisto Vault, survivors can access two tools: the Matching System and Encrypted Record Form.
If someone you care about has experienced sexual assault, it can be hard to know what to say, especially if you are processing your own reactions or you are worried about saying the wrong thing. Allies play an instrumental role in supporting survivors of sexual assault as they navigate their own healing process.

The mission of 1in6 is to help men who have had unwanted or abusive sexual experiences live healthier, happier lives. Our mission also includes serving family members, friends, partners, and service providers by providing information and support resources on the web and in the community.

A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental illness and substance abuse disorders. Psychiatrists are uniquely qualified to understand the complex interrelation between mental and physical health since their training includes four years of medical school and at least three additional years in a psychiatric residency.
A psychologist is a highly trained mental health professional with a doctoral degree who studies human behavior, emotions, and cognitive processes. They diagnose and treat mental health disorders using psychotherapy (talk therapy) and behavioral interventions. Unlike psychiatrists, they generally do not prescribe medication.
