TREATMENT EXPLOITATION RECOVERY NETWORK
A SELF-HELP RECOVERY GROUP FOR
ADULT SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL EXPLOITATION AND ABUSE
BY MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELORS, PSYCHOTHERAPISTS, AND
OTHER HELPING PROFESSIONALS
This self-help recovery group, organized by and for survivors,
supports, informs, and empowers those who are recovering from the effects of sexual
exploitation by helping professionals. During self-help meetings, members can share their
experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment. The group explores a range of topics
related to the effects of sexual exploitation and ways to recover from it. Through sharing
experiences with other survivors, TERN members can: reduce their feelings of isolation and
shame, understand that they are not responsible for the abuse, rebuild self-acceptance and
self-esteem, gain hope and support for their recovery, and learn about options for taking
action against their perpetrator through a variety of avenues. Members can also share
information and resources with one another outside of the meetings. This self-help
group is not intended as a substitute or alternative to psychotherapy.
