There are 2.9 million reports of Child Abuse every year in the United States.
Approximately 1 in 10 children suffer from child maltreatment and 1 in 16 children suffer from sexual abuse.
In a study of young adults who suffered child abuse or neglect, 80% met criteria for at least one psychiatric disorder by age 21, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicide attempts.
