Thank you for being willing to share your experience, knowledge, and perspectives at the first conference on sibling sexual trauma and abuse in the US. Together we will Break the Silence! Please note: As we are still a very small nonprofit, 5WAVES is expecting that those who are presenting will register for the conference and cover their own travel and lodging expenses. If this creates a barrier for you, please contact us at conference@5waves.org.

đWhere to start | What Is SSA/SST?
đWhere to start | What Is SSA/SST?
Is Sibling Sexual Abuse real? What is it? Is it the same as Sibling Sexual Trauma? How often does it happen? Is it incest? Can it happen with biological brothers and sisters, or step brothers and sisters? How do I know if it happened to me? How do I know if what my children were doing was normal or abuse? Harmful sexual behavior toward a sibling is surprisingly common and should not be ignored.

Sibling sexual trauma is likely the most common form of sexual harm to children. It devastates families like little else. Yet it is the least understood, least reported, least talked about of any kind of sexual violation.

5WAVES, Inc., a US-based nonprofit organization, promotes Worldwide Awareness, Voice, Education, & Support (WAVES) to help individuals and families confront and heal from Sibling Sexual Trauma (SST)--the effects of Sibling Sexual Abuse (SSA) and Harmful Sexual Behavior (HSB). Our information hub, siblingsexualtrauma.com, offers information, links, guidance, and referrals to survivors, parents, those who have caused harm, those who aren't sure yet if this has happened to them or their family, and anyone who wants to promote healing or prevent SST/SSA, personally and/or professionally. General information about 5WAVES and SST/SSA is available at 5WAVES.org. 5WAVES was founded by five women from two continents. Each of us has lived experience as survivors or parents of SST/SSA. All of our materials are informed by both lived experience and empirical evidence. We view SST/SSA as primarily a public health issue--one that can be prevented, and that needs to be treated.
