Resources for Parents & Caregivers

5 Things Every Safe Adult Should Know

If a child discloses abuse to you:

Stay Calm

Immediately say, "Thank you for telling me. I believe you. It's not your fault."

Avoid asking too many questions and don't probe for details.

Seek help right away and make a report

Remember—the single biggest factor that contributes to a child’s healing after abuse is having a supportive parent or caregiver
