Welcome

A guide for parents and caregivers

When a child discloses sexual abuse

The Resource Project is a free Canadian guide for parents, caregivers and family members supporting a child, teen or adult child affected by childhood sexual abuse.

Find evidence-informed information about responding to a disclosure, navigating police and child protection, understanding trauma, finding support, and helping your child recover.

Created with parents and survivors who have walked this path. Our hope is to make what comes next a little easier to navigate.

You don’t need to take it all in today. Start where you need to. Read what is helpful.
