Building Resilience: Enhancing Rural Advocacy for Adult Survivors of Child Sexual Abuse, Resource Sharing Project
Survivors of child sexual abuse exist, often silently, in every community in our country. And yet there is a real lack of resources focused on the needs of adult survivors of child sexual abuse. Building Resilience was created to expand advocates understanding of the needs of adult survivors of child sexual and to help advocates create services to meet those needs. Children grow up to be adults, and those adults deserve resources and community partners that can address healing in every sphere of their life. Contributing partners to the project include the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition, North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Just Detention International, Activating Change, rural sexual assault advocates, and many adult survivors of child sexual abuse.
