Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse

Welcome

If you were raped or sexually abused as a child, the first thing you should know is that it is not your fault, you did not cause it, and you are not to blame in any way, despite what you may have been told.

Society assumes people who have been sexually abused in childhood are damaged and not capable of living a normal life. On the contrary, survivors have full lives and succeed in a range of professions and in all strata of society. In doing so, they show great strength and courage. Adult survivors resist the effects of the abuse in many ways, and find strategies to help with healing.
