Showing support for Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse - Making that first contact with someone you know who has disclosed their traumatic experience of Childhood Sexual Abuse can be a very difficult experience for those who want to show their support. As a Mental Health professional and a Survivor I offer this article to help with potential difficulties. I was asked to write this article for 'For The Innocents'. This group are academics, Psychiatrist, Authors, Professors and others in Australia who wish to change the way that the Catholic Church are disregarding the needs of survivors. It will be distributed throughout parishes within Victoria with the hope of it being shared nationally.

My battle to have Br Bernard Hartman extradited to Australia from the United States is now firmly in my grasp. I have entered my 15th year of trying to have this man arrested for crimes committed against myself and others by this man.I believe that the key to maintaining focus for such a long, long time under such difficult circumstances, is to make every decision with compassion for self and others. Hatred manifests hatred, compassion multiplies compassion. My compassion is for other survivors and potential victims, my family, society as a whole and myself.
