This report is the result of a comprehensive research inquiry into client and worker experiences of disclosure and help-seeking amongst adult survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA).
Research participants were recruited from Respond SA, the first designated service in South Australia established to address the significant unmet need of adult survivors of CSA. The report was prepared by a consortium of researchers: Jan Breckenridge, Joan Cunningham and Karen Jennings.
Relationships Australia (SA) has developed a Registry of Skilled Practitioners who are able to provide therapeutic services to individuals and groups of adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA).
