What to Do if You Are a Survivor of Institutional Sexual Abuse

The aftermath of institutional sexual abuse can be overwhelming. You may struggle with a range of emotions, from confusion and shame to anger and fear. It's crucial to remember that you are not alone and that help is available.

Here are some steps you can take:

Seek professional help: A therapist or counselor can provide you with the support and tools you need to process your emotions and begin healing.
Report the abuse: Contacting law enforcement or child protective services is essential to protecting yourself and others.
Preserve evidence: If possible, keep any documentation or physical evidence related to the abuse. This can be helpful if you decide to pursue legal action.
Contact an attorney: An experienced attorney can help you understand your legal options and advocate for your rights.
