The Alaska Children's Trust's lived experience storytelling project sheds light on the issue of child abuse and neglect by providing a platform for Alaskans to share their personal stories and learn from the experiences of others.
On this page are stories shared by survivors of child abuse and neglect that highlight hope but can be difficult to read. A grounding activity can help you to feel calm and make it easier to read these stories. Do you want to try one of our grounding activities?
