There is a crime that is almost too devastating to speak of. For years, the subject was taboo. Victims felt powerless, ashamed, alone. The crime: sexual abuse.

That no longer has to be the case. Victims can heal from the scars of the past and become survivors. I am one of them. And I know plenty of others who are now providing hope to others.

I started this site because while there are many sites out there that address sexual abuse, I had to hop from site to site to find out all of the information that I needed. And sometimes I still didn’t find it all. No one site can be everything to everybody. But my hope is that through this site, your healing journey can begin.

This site will continue to grow and change. New pages will be added and information will be updated. I hope that you will bookmark this site and turn to it as a resource.

 

The good news is that you can heal from this traumatic event. You are not alone. There is hope. Please take time to explore this site, avail yourself of the resources, reach out to others who understand…at your own pace.

If you are not a victim, but care about someone who is…this is a place for you, as well. There are resources to help you understand and how to help.

I have written Healing in the Hurting Places to let both the victims and those who care about them know that there is hope…and healing…after sexual abuse. Click here to purchase.

We are off the map now. Remember when scandal in college sport meant unscrupulous boosters, ill-gotten grades and suspicious car titles? How quaint. Penn State…Syracuse. The same story, only not. A tale that we could hardly imagine, with plot twists we could never make up. And then, another one….Read more
