You Are Enough: A Supportive Guide for Parents and Caregivers of Children Affected by Sexual Abuse With Insights and Advice from Those Who Understand
This support guide offers guidance and support for parents and caregivers whose child has fallen victim to sexual violence based on insights from parents who have participated in our You are Enough™ peer support groups in the past, providing psychoeducation on various processes that affected families go through. These parents have shared some quotes, which may help others in similar situations.
Most importantly, this guide aims at saying to parents they are not alone in navigating this journey. Throughout the testimonies of other parents, this guide provides reassurance and shows that despite the challenges, healing as a family is possible. The love and presence of parents play a crucial role in their child's recovery.
This guide was originally produced as a part of Project 2KNOW, a two-year project funded by the European Commission, dedicated to improving the ecosystem of prevention and response to online crimes of sexual violence against children.
