Abstract
Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is an enormous public health issue worldwide, affecting
health outcomes in millions, and the United States is not immune. One significant sequela of CSA
is increased vulnerability for sexual revictimization. Each CSA survivor has varying factors that
affect their own risks for revictimization, and significant attempts to lower such risks must take
into account their complexity. This author seeks to foster resilience in survivors of CSA, utilizing
strengths and positive factors which are already part of the survivor as well as those who surround
them, and by enhancing or teaching factors of resilience, to decrease sexual revictimization.
