Additional recommended readings related to supporting/professional counseling associations.

Since our case is focusing on the act of sexual harassment itself and related laws and regulations, the instructor is advised to give a broader outlook on how to treat the consequences of this incident on the victim and even the abuser psychology. Both victims and abusers could then follow up with counselling through different associations to heal what they have been through (victims) or to recover from harming others (abusers).
