TRANSFORMING RESPONSES TO INTRA-FAMILIAL Childhood sexual abuse

How we Help
Understanding Power Dynamics
Abusers exploit authority to manipulate the child and use influence to gaslight friends and family, casting doubt on the victim or even blaming them or the safe parent for the abuse. Our blog examines these dynamics, empowering caregivers to identify and call out manipulation tactics to protect their children and hold abusers accountable.
Advocating for change
Safe Haven is committed to advocating for systemic change to prevent intra-familial CSA, hold perpetrators 100% accountable and support survivors and their families. We aim to raise awareness, advocate for policy reforms, longer statutes of limitations and encourage community action in order to create a safer world for our children.
Healing and support
Safe Haven provides a variety of healing and support resources and articles catered to caregivers and survivors. From self-care strategies to coping techniques, our guidance assists caregivers in navigating challenges, fostering resilience and empowerment in their journey to better understand support their children.
community and support
Through our blog, we foster dialogue, share personal stories of resilience, and create a supportive online space where caregivers connect with others who understand their experiences. Join our community to find solidarity, validation, and resources for supporting survivors of intrafamilial CSA. Together, we can break the silence.
How You Can Help
Safe Haven provides opportunities for individuals to make a difference in the lives of survivors and their families. Whether through sharing their story, collaborations, or spreading awareness, every contribution helps create a safer and more supportive community.
