About Us: Therapy for Elders Child Abuse
Our Journey and Mission
Therapy for Elders Child Abuse (TFECA) was founded in 2017 with a vision to shed light on an often-overlooked aspect of child abuse—its lasting impact on the elderly population. Recognizing the profound and complex nature of this issue, we set out to create a comprehensive news website dedicated to raising awareness, offering support, and providing therapeutic resources for elders who have experienced childhood trauma.
Since our inception, TFECA has strived to become a trusted source of information, education, and community for survivors, caregivers, professionals, and advocates working in the field of elder care and child abuse prevention. Our journey has been marked by several significant milestones:
- 2018: Launched an online support group forum, creating a safe space for elders to connect and share their stories.
- 2019: Expanded our team to include subject matter experts, therapists, and journalists, ensuring diverse perspectives on the topic.
- 2020: Published groundbreaking research highlighting the correlation between childhood trauma and late-life mental health issues in elders.
- 2021: Introduced a peer-reviewed section featuring the latest therapeutic approaches and recovery stories, fostering a sense of hope among survivors.
- 2022: Achieved over 5 million page views, with readers from all walks of life showing a growing interest in understanding and addressing this hidden trauma.
Our Purpose and Core Values
Our mission is to empower elders who have suffered childhood abuse by providing accessible resources for healing and recovery. We believe that every individual deserves support and understanding as they navigate the complexities of their past experiences. TFECA is committed to:
- Unbiased Information: Presenting factual, evidence-based content on therapy options, legal rights, and support services without bias or agenda.
- Accuracy: Ensuring all information is reliable and current by consulting with experts in the field and staying attuned to the latest research.
- Inclusivity: Representing the diverse experiences of survivors from various cultural, socioeconomic, and ethnic backgrounds.
- Supportive Community: Fostering a sense of belonging through online forums, allowing readers to share their stories and offer mutual support.
Addressing an Information Gap
The internet is replete with resources on child abuse, but few focus specifically on the unique challenges faced by elders who have endured this trauma in their youth. TFECA fills this gap by providing specialized content tailored to the needs of older survivors. We recognize that as our population ages, so does the potential for unaddressed childhood trauma, leading to a range of physical and mental health issues later in life.
Our Commitment to Reliability
We take great pride in maintaining rigorous standards for content creation and fact-checking. Our team includes licensed therapists, journalists with extensive research experience, and subject matter experts who work collaboratively to ensure every article, resource, and forum discussion meets the highest quality criteria. Regular peer reviews and updates guarantee that our information remains current and accurate.
