Champions of Healing - Online Courses
For too long, childhood sexual abuse has been difficult for many people to talk about, understand, or engage with. As a result, too much of the burden has been carried by survivors themselves. Today, we’re changing that reality by making learning, understanding, and action accessible to everyone.
Take the Survivors or Allies course to better understand the impact of childhood sexual abuse, recognize the lasting effects of CSA trauma, and learn why healing is possible. Through powerful stories, practical insights, and compassionate guidance, you’ll gain tools to support healing for yourself, someone you love, or the communities you serve.
Childhood Sexual Assault Impacts...

If you are a survivor, you’re not alone. There are 60 million survivors of childhood sexual abuse in the US today. 9 out of 10 did not report during childhood and even fewer received services.
Together, we can change that reality—by learning the basics or “ABCDs” of the issue. Learn more and become a Champion of Healing™ in your community today!
Why do we use the term “adult survivor”?
Whether adults received support during childhood or not, they deserve specialized support during adulthood– that’s why Wings exists to support adults on their healing journey.
What you can expect to learn
We can all learn the basics of this issue. Take the course to better understand the impact of childhood sexual abuse, recognize how CSA trauma can shape lives, and learn why healing is possible. Through stories, reflection, and practical insights, the Champions of Healing™ Learning Series introduces the ABCD model: Acknowledge, Believe, Connect, and Demonstrate.
Why Adult Survivors should take the Course
Many adult survivors do not connect the challenges they are experiencing today with the abuse that happened often decades ago. Many face challenges like disbelief or victim blaming if they do speak up. Many wrongly believe they are alone in their experiences, when 25% or more of our culture are adult survivors, too. This program explores impacts of CSA, components of the healing process, and ways to connect with supportive individuals and resources.

Why Loved Ones and Allies should take the Course
Having supportive allies who believe and support adult survivors is KEY to their healing journey. Yet sadly, because many adult survivors were abused by trusted people in their lives, they often face disbelief and denial when they do come forward. This can be as traumatizing as the original abuse itself. This course is designed to help loved ones, friends, and allies understand CSA, its impacts on adult survivors, and how to respond with care and compassion.

Why Professionals Should Take the Course
Adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse often seek support from therapists, coaches, healthcare providers, advocates, spiritual leaders, educators, and other helping professionals. Yet many professionals receive little or no training on the long-term impacts of childhood sexual abuse or how to respond in ways that foster healing. This course provides a foundational understanding of childhood sexual abuse, its lasting impacts, and the challenges adult survivors may face throughout their lives. Participants will gain practical insights for approaching this topic with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence, while building a foundation for more informed, survivor-centered support.
