Unveiling Child Sexual Abuse is a training resource for mental health professionals or those who serve in any counseling capacity to learn more about the signs and symptoms of child sexual abuse and insights from survivors. Symptoms of anxiety, depression, addiction, self-mutilation, and eating disorders are among the many presenting emotional and

physical health issues from which survivors of child sexual abuse may suffer. Survivors of child sexual abuse are often silenced in shame years after the abuse, and require an enormous amount of trust, patience, and sensitivity to facilitate disclosure. This program aides mental health professionals and counselors to become more aware of the struggles of a survivor.
