Why Forget-me-knot Day?
Forget Many people forget that adults who were abused as children often need help to do those things others take for granted. Some don’t even realise. Childhood abuse in all its forms profoundly affects the developing brain, arresting emotional development and our ability to make healthy choices. Sadly for many survivors it’s not just a matter of getting over it!
Me Many survivors suffer from low self-esteem. ASCA works to empower survivors, encouraging nurture and self-care while establishing a healthy support network.
Knot When children are abused they become confused. Even for adults, life can be chaotic and tangled. ASCA wants all Australians to work together to untangle the knot of child abuse and to support survivors.
