To find out more about organizations in your area that may provide trauma-focused therapy for childhood sexual abuse and are part of the NCTSN, visit our Network Members page.

If there are no NCTSN Partner Centers in your area, it may be useful to ask providers in your local area the following questions to determine if they offer trauma-focused therapy:

• Do you have experience in treating sexually abused children and their families?
• Do you offer treatments for sexually abused children that have been studied and have been demonstrated to be effective?
• Are you familiar with and have you used trauma-focused therapy with sexually abused children?

The NCTSN publication Caring for Kids: What Parents Need to Know about Sexual Abuse provides parents and caregivers with tools to help them support children who have been victims of sexual abuse, information on the importance of talking to children and youth about body safety, and guidance on how to respond when children disclose sexual abuse. Also included is advice on how to cope with the shock of intrafamilial abuse and with the emotional impact of legal involvement in sexual abuse cases. 

The U.S. Office for Victims of Crime lists state agencies throughout the country that have established programs to help crime victims in the recovery process. These programs provide access to services, support, and information. They also coordinate compensation programs that reimburse crime victims. Victims of rape, assault, child sexual abuse, drunk driving, and domestic violence, as well as the families of homicide victims, are all eligible to apply for financial help.
