This happened to me

Written for you
Three KARA toolkits are being written for people this happened to: for you, not about you: Adults who were abused as children, Survivors now working in helping professions, and Teenagers. No sign-up. No donation ask.
If you are a teenager and it is happening now, the hotlines above answer texts as well as calls, and they will not take over your life. Talking to them is not the same as filing a report.
