Adult survivors of child abuse often feel a deep sense of isolation. If this is how you’re feeling, you are not alone.
Healing from child abuse can be a winding path, once described as a "spiral - a repeated traversing of the issues, layer by layer, piece by piece, sorting and resorting, until the toxicity of the abusive experiences has been released." (Baringer 1992)
At ASCA, we are working to create new possibilities for more than 2 million Australian adults surviving child abuse, and engaging with the Australian community, to ensure that adults surviving child abuse will be able to access the help they need.
If you are a survivor seeking care and support or a supporter wondering how to care for a survivor you will find a lot of information across all sections of this website.
Should you need any further information please do not hesitate to contact our National Office on (02) 8920 3611 or email info@asca.org.au.
