Childhood sexual abuse is pervasive: According to the 2023 PA Child Protective Services Report, there were 1749 substantiated reports of sexual abuse of children (over a third of all substantiated reports of abuse that year). Often, survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) do not disclose or come forward about their abuse until they reach adulthood, if they disclose at all. It's important to learn how to support survivors of CSA into adulthood. By the end of this webinar, viewers will be able to:
1. Define child sexual abuse, grooming, and other important terms.
2. Understand the dynamics of childhood sexual abuse and how it affects survivors into adulthood.
3. Learn ways to support adult survivors, including navigating healthy relationships.
