These are the common legacies of childhood sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. Often left alone to deal with this overwhelming trauma, survivors develop many ways of coping - forgetting, denial, avoidance, control, making excuses, staying busy. Difficulties with relationships at home, school, and work often result as survivors struggle to take care of their wounded hearts, minds, and bodies.

Currently under construction, this section will provide you with important information on the common effects of childhood abuse, the recovery process, self-care strategies, and support resources for you or your clients.
