ABSTRACT
When a survivor decides to seek help, she is taking an important first step in coming to terms with the experience of childhood sexual abuse. She may have spent months or years getting to this point, and much will depend on her finding a setting in which she feels safe enough to disclose the painful details of her past. Finding out what resources are available locally can be difficult. There are, however, a range of organizations and professional helpers who can offer support, undertake therapeutic work or refer a woman to a more appropriate source of help.
