Become a Champion of Healing™

One in five people experienced sexual abuse as children. Chances are, you know an adult survivor whether or not they’ve shared that information with you. In fact, most adult survivors have never told a soul because our culture hasn’t made it easy – and you can be part of changing that reality! 

When you become a Champion of Healing™, you support adult survivors to heal and become part of a movement to build a healthier society. With your help, we can build safer and more connected communities that acknowledge childhood sexual abuse and its impacts on adult survivors. Together, we can hold space for adult survivors to see and acknowledge, speak about, heal from and thrive beyond CSA trauma.  

In the Champions of Healing™ interactive video series, you’ll hear directly from adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse as they share their experiences and journey of healing. You’ll also hear from professionals who support adult survivors. You’ll learn how you can support survivors, too.
