An Introduction |
Do you avoid certain medical procedures like Pap smears, because
you find them upsetting?
Are you a health care provider needing information about providing
care for women with a child sexual abuse history?

Child abuse is a very sensitive issue and is often very difficult
to hear or read about. Many women have difficulty using the health
care system because of a history of abuse. These survivors may avoid
necessary health care or find medical procedures traumatizing. This
web site is intended for women with an abuse history and their health
care providers. We recognize that some of the following content
may be disturbing as it involves situations of past abuse. Whether
you are a survivor, know one, are a professional who works with
survivors, or are simply interested in sensitive practices in care,
we hope that this site provides you with some helpful resources
and tools.
