Families and Survivors of Child Abuse

Families and survivors of child abuse refer to those affected by harmful actions inflicted on children, whether by caregivers or others. Survivors are individuals who have experienced physical, emotional, or sexual abuse and may face ongoing emotional and psychological challenges. Families include relatives or guardians involved in or affected by the abuse, often needing support to heal and prevent further harm. Recognizing these experiences is essential for providing appropriate care, fostering resilience, and ensuring safety. Addressing child abuse involves understanding its impact and working toward healing and prevention within families and communities.
