CSA Education

 

Child Sex Abuse is a crime committed against survivors, leaving them with enduring physical, emotional, and financial burdens. The cost is staggering, and its effects are lifelong.

CSA is a profoundly traumatic experience that children are ill-equipped to comprehend or process. It's considered an extreme form of trauma due to the violation of a child's body.

This abuse has far-reaching medical, emotional, and psychiatric consequences, with both short and long-term effects, including depression, anxiety, nightmares, self-injury, and more.

The trauma of CSA leaves a lasting impact on survivors, regardless of when it occurred. To help them truly heal and become survivors, treatment, therapy, and support are essential.
