Project Title: Healing the Hurt of Child Sexual Abuse
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The American Academy of Pediatrics has called child sexual abuse a public health epidemic. The American Medical Association declared it a \u201csilent-violent epidemic.\u201d Child sexual abuse is correlated with an increased risk for a wide range of behavioral issues, mental health problems and adjustment difficulties in childhood and later in life. It impacts not just the victims, but also families and communities. The CDC has pegged the lifetime cost to society at $210,000 per case of untreated child sexual abuse.<\/p>\n
Although sexual abuse is pervasive throughout all races, socio-economic classes and cultures, the families we see do not usually have the resources to obtain services on their own, and find very few other agencies that offer free, evidence-based mental health services. Providing services at no cost to families is essential for clients who would probably not be able to access this level of care in a timely manner anywhere else. The families we see are typically undergoing multiple economic and social stressors compounded by the turmoil and family upheaval wrought by allegations of sexual abuse. We provide a full continuum of wrap-around services and care for victims and their families to address multiple family needs. <\/p>\n
As sad and traumatic as child sexual abuse is, Kristi House has found through years of practice that with culturally sensitive, evidence-based intervention, children and families can heal. Our documented outcomes have demonstrated that those who successfully complete their therapy treatment plans with our caring, experienced therapists function better across many domains, and that the families are better equipped to protect their children in the future. <\/p>\n
This grant will go toward our therapy program that helps children overcome the trauma of sexual abuse so that their lives are not forever defined by hurt, secrecy, guilt or shame. <\/p>\n
