Thank you for visiting our site! We hope you take a moment to view our 30 second commercial followed by a personal interview with Tonya Allen.







Being a survivor of childhood sexual abuse is not easy! You don't always have the courage to share your stories with others and thus often feel isolated from everyone else. There is never going to be a way for you or anyone else to say that you are responsible for what happened.  Incest survivors often are told that everything that you once believed to be true and real about every aspect of life MUST be re-examined, and often chucked to the curb. Which means that you have an opportunity, arrived at through very painful means and not of your choosing, to become exactly who you want to be. A person whose sense of self is determined solely by what you choose. It takes incredible strength to live through being abused through early stages of development , so know that you have every ounce of strength needed to heal from the inside out.

Grieve, love, find hope in times of pain, love, and love you some more, rage and vent at the ones who hurt you, know that until you acknowledge that it was never about you--you will look to blame yourself. Know that until you reclaim your inner power and strength, you will look to re-enact the events where your losses occurred. Freedom is in loving yourself, taking care of yourself, being intimate, caring, understanding, and forgiving of you. In steps all things are possible.

Child sexual abuse is a silent epidemic throughout the United States and the world, creating social havoc-for the children, adult survivors, and society. It can be prevented and it can be treated, but a conscious and sustained effort to ensure the safety of the children is both missing and essential.

If individuals, stakeholders, communities, organizations, and policymakers are going to deal with the issue, they must understand the extent to which it is a problem and they must be able to talk about it. To move toward that end, they must first be made aware of what it is, what it does, and what can be done about it.

What is needed now is a movement to mobilize public support for shaping new policies that will bring about sweeping change for children. The time is now. Our children, our future, cannot wait!
