Subject Summary, Fall 2007
Author: Jane Gilgun & Alankaar Sharma

Child sexual abuse is a serious social problem that affects the quality of life and life chances of uncounted millions of survivors in the United States and internationally. Child sexual abuse hurts all who are victimized, but some survivors cope with, adapt to, and overcome its affects because they have people in their lives who understand the true nature of child sexual abuse and who provide them with the information and support they need to recover.

CASCW’s subject summaries were developed by affiliated faculty within the School of Social Work from 2004–2010. Child welfare-relevant evaluation findings, which include current policies and practices affecting Title IV-E eligible families and children, are incorporated into these supplemental training materials.

Each Subject Summary contains features such as discussion questions, selected references, additional resources, suggested guest speakers and a PowerPoint presentation.
