Learn About Incest

What is incest?
Whether experiencing abuse as a child or an adult, incest is extremely traumatic and has lasting harm for the survivor.
Statistics & Research
One-third of child sexual abuse is committed by a family member. It is time to put incest front and center.


Warning Signs & Disclosure

Can we prevent incest? Yes. A major part of incest prevention is educating ourselves and others so we can create home environments in which incest can’t flourish.
