condition name:

childhood sexual abuse

condition information:

When sexual abuse happens in childhood, it is known as child sex abuse. Under this umbrella, there are two types of abuse, contact abuse (when an abuser makes physical contact with a child) and non-contact abuse (when non-touching activities take place like exploitation or being shown pornography).

In the UK, one in 20 children has been sexually abused. Understandably, this can have a huge impact on the child's mental health and well-being. If you've just been sexually abused, try to remember that it is not your fault and that you are not alone. The Rape Crisis website has some advice about what to do immediately after being abused, including how to report it to the police.

Andy has undergone specialist training in working with sex offenders, and those who have yet to act on their 'troubling thoughts'.
