Adult Child Abuse Survivor Counseling

Programs that provide therapeutic interventions for adults who, as children, were subjected to a persistent pattern of violence and/or neglect that took place within the family by a parent, guardian, step-parent, sibling or other relative, or outside the home by a friend, neighbor, child care provider or teacher, and who are dealing with the trauma of that experience in their adult lives. Issues may include abandonment, emotional abuse, emotional deprivation, physical abuse, corporal punishment that led to trauma, physical neglect, inadequate supervision, or sexual abuse or exploitation. Counseling is offered in a variety of settings and may include individual, conjoint, family and group therapy sessions.
