The Cost of Unresolved Childhood Trauma and Abuse in Adults in Australia.

ASCA (Australian Survivors of Child Abuse) have just released a report finding that the ongoing costs related to child abuse are around $9 billion a year. This includes the cost of counselling services, health services and other supports that people who have experienced child abuse need. The report highlights the need to intervene early to protect children, including a strategy for addressing the structural budget deficit by addressing the public health issue of childhood trauma and abuse at its core.
