Book cover titled 'Healing Together: A Family Guide to Recovering from Sexual Harm' by Elizabeth Clemants, featuring abstract watercolor artwork with swirling lines in multiple colors.

Healing Together is an essential resource for any family member ready to break cycles of harm and to open the door to collective healing.

Healing Together provides a compassionate yet practical guide for families confronting the aftermath of sexual harm to a young person, even decades after that harm has ended. Through a family systems perspective, this book explores individual challenges, providing actionable strategies for healing, accountability, and prevention. It addresses the intricate dynamics within families, including relationships with adult survivors, non-offending parents, siblings, partners, adult children and those who have caused sexual harm.
