Child Sexual Abuse

What is Child Sexual Abuse?

Sexual abuse is mainly used to describe behavior toward children and teens, not adults. Sexual abuse can include many different things, from touching a victim in a sexual manner to forcing a victim to touch the perpetrator in a sexual way, to making a victim look at sexual body parts or watch sexual activity.

3 Reasons Why Child Sexual Abuse Matters

  1.  It intrinsically shapes how one experiences trust, safety, and relationships.  
  2.  It is one of the strongest predictors of life-time psychological distress.
  3.  The vast majority of those who experience CSA interpret their self-worth and identity through the lens of the trauma.
