Just back from a trip up north, and it was a packed schedule with several stops and multiple appointments!

It was absolutely amazing to see one of my child clients and their family. A total injustice has been done to this beautiful family unit, but seeing them thrive now with support is everything.

We are still pushing hard to get action and justice for another victim - the fight doesn't stop, and we won't give up.

I spent time helping an elderly victim, who was brutally r***d and bashed, prepare for her upcoming court matters.

In between those vital appointments, I was busy writing reports and managing crucial victim communication. I also had the privilege of catching up over dinner with an incredible advocate for our adult males, grabbed coffee with a wonderful family who financially donates every fortnight to Craic On, and connected with a dedicated medical team who will be stepping in to help victims with their injuries and long-term health.

So grateful for this community and everyone playing a part in this vital work! 🙌💼✨

Craic On Foundation: How Childhood Sexual Abuse Can Impact Sleep in Adulthood

Childhood sexual abuse can have long-lasting effects that may continue into adulthood, including the way a person experiences rest and sleep.

For some survivors, sleep can become difficult because trauma can affect the brain and body’s sense of safety. Some adults who experienced abuse as children may struggle with:
- Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- Nightmares or distressing dreams
- Waking frequently during the night
- Feeling on edge or unsafe when trying to rest
- Hypervigilance - feeling the need to stay alert even when there is no immediate danger
- Fatigue and exhaustion from disrupted sleep

These sleep challenges are not a sign of weakness. They can be a response to experiences that overwhelmed a person’s ability to feel safe. Trauma can leave the nervous system more sensitive to reminders of past harm, even many years later.

It is important to remember that the responsibility for child sexual abuse always belongs to the person who caused the harm - never the child.
With understanding, support, and appropriate care, survivors can learn ways to manage trauma responses and hopefully improve their quality of life. Unfortunately for some there is no improvement and this is not their fault. A safe, compassionate response can make a meaningful difference.

Craic On Foundation is committed to raising awareness of the impacts of child sexual abuse, supporting survivor voices, and promoting safer communities where children are protected and believed.

At Craic On Foundation, we believe that education protects children, supports survivors, and helps prevent abuse. Together, we can build a safer future for every child. đź’š

Understanding Why Some Child Sexual Abuse Survivors Experience Suicidal Thoughts.

Child sexual abuse can have a profound and lasting impact on a person’s emotional wellbeing. Many survivors carry overwhelming feelings of fear, shame, guilt, confusion, anger, or isolation, especially when they have not been believed, supported, or given the help they needed.

Some survivors may experience suicidal thoughts because the pain they carry can feel unbearable. Trauma can affect how a person sees themselves, their relationships, and their future. Feelings of hopelessness, being trapped, or believing they have no way forward can become overwhelming.

It is important to remember: the responsibility belongs entirely to the person who caused the harm - never the child.

A compassionate response matters. Listening, believing, supporting, and connecting survivors with appropriate help can save lives. Healing is possible, and survivors deserve care, dignity, and support at every stage of their journey.

Craic On Foundation is committed to raising awareness, supporting child safety, and creating communities where children and survivors are heard, valued, and protected.

If you or someone you know is struggling with thoughts of su***de, reaching out for immediate support can make a difference. In Australia, Lifeline is available 24/7 on 13 11 14.

At Craic On Foundation, we believe that education protects children, supports survivors, and helps prevent abuse. Together, we can build a safer future for every child. đź’š

Today, I hope we send a man to jail, for his crimes against a child.

I remember the morning I waited my whole life for, sentencing day. I remember the feeling in my stomach. I remember reading over and over my Victim Impact Statement, wondering how anyone could ever truly understand the impact.

You can put the words on paper. You can explain the pain, the fear, the trauma, and the years of trying to live with what happened. But how do you ever make someone understand the parts of you that were changed forever?

Today is about accountability. It’s about justice for a child who never deserved any of this. And I hope this sentence brings even the smallest sense of justice for you.

No child should ever have to experience sexual assault and or r**e. ❤️
