PATH,
Parents as the Healers
-- Helping parents better help in the recovery --
Parents of children who have been
sexually abused stand in a critical position to help their children
recover from sexual abuse. The feelings of guilt, regret and sadness
can be overwhelming. Yet parents can be a source of healing and
strength for their children.
In a two-hour session,
a PATH leader introduces topics such as sexual abuse and the law,
the effects of sexual abuse on the child and family, sexuality,
perpetrators, intergenerational aspects of sexual abuse, and healing/recovery
steps. For many parents, this session is their first opportunity
to talk openly about their thoughts and feelings about what happened
to their child. This session prepares parents to join in the Parents Support Group where they can get continued support and understanding.
This service is free.
A PATH program can be
scheduled at any time. Don't wait, call now.
We do understand how you feel.
