It's still not my shame: adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse report

Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) has until relatively recently been largely a hidden crime. In early 2001, Women's Health Statewide (WHS) undertook the role of `Interim Lead Agency for Coordinating Collaborative Responses to Adults who had been Subjected to Child Sexual Abuse'. As part of this role, WHS identified the need to conduct research to explore the current service needs of adult survivors and the organisational needs of workers and managers in providing services to adult survivors. This project aimed to identify the current service needs of adult survivors of CSA and the organisational needs of workers and managers who provided services to adult survivors.
