Abstract
Although sexual abuse puts adolescents at risk for a range of adjustment difficulties, some adolescents demonstrate resilience following the abuse. In this study, adolescents’ reports of both caregiver and divine support were each uniquely associated with resilience among adolescents who have disclosed sexual abuse.
