About the Course
Living a happy life following incest and child sexual abuse is often elusive to many survivors and a daunting task for those who seek a happy and productive life. Child and adult survivors may seek counseling but stop because they don’t believe they’re improving. Counselors become frustrated because clients are not progressing. Families have no idea how to help. Overall, participants will increase their understanding of the impact of incest and child sexual abuse on a child’s development, healing options, and caregiver-supportive parenting strategies.
