About Us: Therapy for Young Children Sexual Abuse Survivors
Our Journey
Founded in 2017, Therapy for Young Children Sexual Abuse Survivors (TYCSS) is a dedicated news website with a profound mission: to shed light on and offer support to children who have survived sexual abuse. We believe every survivor deserves accessible, unbiased, and accurate information about their experiences and the available resources for healing.
Our History
The idea for this platform emerged from a growing concern about the lack of reliable and child-centric online resources specifically tailored to young survivors of sexual abuse. Many websites either focused on broader adult topics or provided generic support without addressing the unique needs of children. Recognizing this gap, our founding team came together with a shared vision: to create a safe digital space for these vulnerable individuals.
Over the years, TYCSS has achieved several milestones, including:
- Securing partnerships with renowned child psychology experts and abuse prevention organizations in 2019.
- Launching an interactive forum in 2020, fostering peer support and community among survivors.
- Expanding our content to include personal stories of resilience and recovery, inspiring hope in 2021.
- Collaborating with government agencies in 2022 to promote early intervention programs for at-risk children.
