Abstract

This white paper will be a living document, updated with new insights to help identify gaps in treatment and support for survivors of child sexual abuse imagery, beginning with mental health practitioners, then attorneys, law enforcement, victim advocates and others. We encourage readers to recognize the complex nature of this type of crime and the unique treatment implications for survivors, while committing to work alongside other helping professionals in a continuum of care model to ensure justice, healing and post-traumatic growth within this previously unseen population.
