| Survey:
"The
Negative Impact of Childhood Sexual Abuse"
(NICSA)
Where
else can hundreds of survivors join their
voices together and make a very loud and clear
statement about the impact of childhood sexual
abuse?
For
too many years, survivors have been told to
“stay quiet” or “keep it
secret” or that “nobody will believe
you”. No more!!! Society needs to KNOW
how devastating abuse is to the survivors.
It’s time to tell the truth about how
abuse affects people’s lives –
your life – and the lives of your friends
and family. Find the time and the courage
to tell what it is like so society can be
educated from the SURVIVOR viewpoint.
Use
your voice, your words, your thoughts, and
your experiences to speak out. Let your experiences
teach and educate other survivors, support
people, mental health professionals, and anyone
who will listen. Pass on what you have learned,
what you have experienced, and help in the
fight to stop child abuse. Join in, and complete
a survey today.
Are
you curious about what survivors and their
loved ones have said so far?
AbuseConsultants.com
is pleased to announce the first
edition NICSA Survey Results booklet.
This
52-page booklet is the first edition of the
results of the Negative Impact of Childhood
Sexual Abuse survey. The NICSA survey has
been available online via AbuseConsultants.com
and continues to be open and available for
more response. This first edition booklet
outlines the responses compiled from nearly
200 surveys from survivors or their loved
ones. Have you ever wondered:
What percentages of survivors suffer with
severe impacts from their abuse?
What do survivors report as the most debilitating
impact of abuse?
What do survivors report as the least affected
area of their lives?
What percentage of survivors report having
adequate support and treatment?
What treatment/therapies do survivors report
as the most effective?
What additional comments have survivors
made in terms of how the abuse has affected
their lives?
What do survivors say about their ability
to obtain adequate treatment and support?
Where to get a copy of the Negative Impact
of Childhood Sexual Abuse article?
The
comments submitted from the surveys are totally
anonymous but they have been kept as close
to original as possible in the booklet. Read
your comments amongst those of other survivors.
TOGETHER survivors are making a very important
and significant statement that cannot be overlooked.
By joining together with hundred of other
survivors, just IMAGINE the impact you can
have in terms of safely telling the truth
about the ways childhood sexual abuse has
affected your lives!!!!
The
NICSA Survey Results booklet and the ongoing
results of this survey are being presented
by the Clinical Director of AbuseConsultants.com
at various conferences. The voice of survivors
will be used to educate professionals and
support people from all over the world. It
is a very unique way to present the truth
from the people who know it best!
Also,
we are very pleased to announce that in October
2003, some of the NICSA Survey Results were
presented in the Canadian Parliament by Mr.
Larry Spencer, MP for Regina-Lumsden-Lake
Center. The information provided in the NICSA
Survey Results booklet --- the information
provided by survivors -- helped Mr. Spencer
present a powerful speech in the House of
Commons and helped to win the motion!!!! This
is a significant step in gaining more protection
for Canadian children from sexual predators.
THANK YOU to all survivors who have directly
helped in this process. Your contribution
is valued more than you’ll ever know!!!!
Our
long-term goal for the NICSA Survey is to
gather the thoughts and opinions of 1500-2000+
survivors (and/or from people who know survivors).
There are thousands and thousands of survivors
in the world, so this goal is a mere drop
in the bucket. However, the more survivors
that contribute in this process, the more
accurate and the bigger the statement will
be.
If
you have not yet completed a survey,
or if you know other survivors who could contribute
to this process, please do so today. What
you have to say is important!
