Many adult
survivors are able to
make external changes
but have difficulties
moving forward due to
feelings of being
incomplete. Like the
butterfly emerging from
its cocoon, the hope for
survivors is
transformation from
within.
Reach for awareness of
the impact of childhood
sexual abuse.

Reach to
learn, protect
and prevent.
Reach to stop

child
exploitation

Reach for Hope.
Childhood sexual abuse.
There, we said it. Now,
it’s in the open. And
it’s okay for you to
talk about too.
Our hope
is to inform, get people
talking, and to prevent
and overcome
victimization. |

Know the facts.
30-40% of
sexual child abuse is by
a family member. The
reality is that an
abuser is often someone
known, may seem very
average and ordinary to
the world and may even
be a leader in the
community. Attend our
events, volunteer and
support our
programs.
