On this page is information for how to report child abuse (all forms). Please note that it is the LAW to report and that reports may be made anonymously. Towards the bottom of the page are additional support resources, for those who may be needing some extra assistance working through issues associated with child sexual abuse. This list does not include every resource available, but it’s a great place to begin!
