Abstract

Using Draucker’s Model of Healing from Child Sexual Abuse, this study explores the healing journeys of female incest survivors aged 11 to 17 under the care of CSWD–Ozamiz. Data from eight participants revealed themes related to freedom from abuse, emotional regulation, alternative care, support, disclosure, future goals, courage, faith, writing, and art. The findings provide a basis for data-informed interventions, community reintegration programs, and preventive measures for children who have experienced abuse.
