Sexual abuse is a public health issue that requires collaboration among all those with a stake in the outcome. From the beginning, an important part of Safer Society’s mission has been to encourage dialogues and to promote the exchange of information. The pages in this section of our website are designed to continue this work. The information addresses all aspects of sexual abuse, from the prevention of abuse, to the healing of survivors, and the management of people with sexual behavior problems. Each of these areas needs to be addressed in order to create a safer society, one in which sexual abuse can be prevented before it happens, and in which victims are provided with support and healing while those with sexual behavior problems receive the services they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle free of abusive behaviors.
