Supporting Your Child After CSA
This is a booklet that I created, drawing on evidence-based models of trauma recovery for parents and carers following a disclosure or concern about child sexual abuse. It offers practical guidance on what can help a child feel safer, how to respond to their needs, and what to expect in the weeks and months ahead — clear information without overwhelm, so you can support your child while also looking after yourself.

A note on these resources
The organisations above are independent of Ravenscliffe Counselling. They are listed here because I trust their work and the quality of their information. If you're currently working with me and would like help thinking through which service might be the right fit, that's something we can do together.
