Survivor & Family Support: Resources for Survivors & Families

When a child is sexually victimized, whether by someone online, in the family, or a trusted community member, the sense of betrayal can be overwhelming. Protective caregivers are often lost about what to do and how to help their child. To assist families in navigating the recovery process, C3P has developed tailored resources.
