Survivor Support

Emotional Support and Reporting Process

Overcoming feelings of shame, confusion, and fear can be challenging, but you don’t have to face it alone. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional to discuss your feelings. Additionally, consider contacting support groups like RAINN or SNAP that offer resources and community for survivors.

Child sexual abuse includes any sexual act or behavior involving a child under the age of consent, including touching, exposure to inappropriate materials, or online grooming. If you’re unsure whether you experienced abuse, consult a mental health professional or contact our legal team for guidance.

Coming forward can help bring awareness to the issue of child sexual abuse, potentially preventing future abuse and empowering other survivors to share their stories. Reporting abuse can also help hold the responsible parties accountable, making it harder for them to continue harming others.

Reconciling your faith and community connections after abuse can be challenging. Seek support from a faith leader you trust, explore other religious communities, or consult a mental health professional to help process your feelings. Remember, healing is a personal journey and may take time.

Finding Help and Additional Resources

Organizations such as RAINN, SNAP, and Child USA provide resources and support for survivors of child sexual abuse. Look for organizations with a strong reputation, transparency, and commitment to survivor support.

To protect your privacy, consult with an attorney who can advise you on anonymity options. Many states allow survivors to file lawsuits using pseudonyms to preserve their confidentiality. Our legal team can provide further guidance on this matter.
