Outreach
resource center for victims and survivors
The Arlington Catholic Herald links listed below contain articles written by survivors. The books and materials listed include professional research and information about abuse, as well as recommendations by individuals who take part in the victim assistance ministry; they have found these selections helpful to them in their recovery from abuse.
There is also a link to a Rosary Guide for Healing and Protection that was developed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. It is our hope and prayer that the resources posted here will be helpful to victims/survivors in their search for healing from the wounds of sexual abuse.
