Culture of healing

The seed that grew into this guidebook on victim/survivor assistance services was planted by the Church in Africa. It is the fruit of five years of listening, learning and walking with victims and survivors of clerical child sexual abuse across five continents. The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors thanks them, without whom this manual on developing a safe and culturally sensitive methodology of listening and responding to people who have been abused would not have been possible.
