Many people experience the effects of child sexual abuse and may never speak about it to anyone, either at the time or later in life. The impact of abuse may strike at any time, and it is important that help is available when people need it. What happened to you was not your fault, and you deserve support, understanding, and care.
People respond to abuse in many different ways, and there is no right or wrong way to feel – you might be coping day to day, struggling with difficult memories, or trying to make sense of what has happened. Whatever your experience, your reactions are valid and there is help available.
