One of the hardest things that many adult survivors of child sexual abuse will ever do is come forward and tell someone. Even if the survivor finally discloses decades after the crime, the pain is still fresh and the shame still stings. But for the person the survivor tells, hearing the news and knowing how to react in a compassionate, safe, and empowering way can be almost as difficult. This easy-to-use book gives friends, spouses, and loved ones guidelines on compassionate responses and appropriate resources that can help adult survivors of child sex begin the path towards healing.
