Transforming Practices Conference 2026

Child sexual abuse is a profound violation of boundaries, safety, and trust that disrupts development, relationships, and identity. Its impact is not confined to a single event—it unfolds over time, shaping how individuals experience themselves, others, and the world.This session focuses on the specific ways child sexual abuse can shape a girl’s developing sense of gender, power, and relational worth—and how these early experiences carry forward into adolescence and adulthood with clinical, cultural, and political implications.
