You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

By GNGF

We support survivors of sexual abuse. It takes a lot of courage to come forward and tell your story. Our team has talked with hundreds of survivors of sexual abuse and is available to answer your questions. If you aren’t quite ready to take that step, here are some helpful videos.

What are the effects of sexual abuse?

There are many serious effects of suffering sexual abuse.  Sexual trauma can have physical, emotional, and physical effects on survivors.  These effects aren’t easy to deal with and often require help from experts on how to deal with them.  Depression, flashbacks, issues with intimacy, and post-traumatic stress disorder are only a few examples of the types of effects that survivors may have to face.  The effects of traumatic events manifest differently from survivor to survivor.  The one common denominator is that everyone needs help to work through these resulting phenomena.

Can I still get help if the abuse happened when I was a child and I’m now an adult?

What does it mean to be trauma-informed?

The average person does not understand the effect of trauma on the brain. There are both short-term and long-term effects that manifest in different ways in different people.  Traumatic experiences impact every area of functioning, including physical, mental, behavioral, and social processes.  Trauma-informed care means treating a whole person, taking into account past trauma and the resulting coping mechanisms when attempting to understand and interact with clients who’ve been through traumas. Cohen & Malad, LLP is proud that each member of its sexual abuse litigation team has been trained in trauma-informed care and will treat our clients and their families with understanding, respect, and dignity at all times.
