SSTA is one of the most common yet least recognized forms of childhood sexual abuse—accounting for up to 50% of cases. For too long, SSTA has been missing from prevention education, professional training, and public awareness.
At SSTA AWARE, we’re changing that.

Bringing Awareness of SSTA to a college campus and parent group
near you.
Sibling Sexual Trauma and Abuse (SSTA) remains one of the most overlooked and under-acknowledged forms of childhood sexual abuse. Despite its prevalence, there is a critical gap in prevention, education, and trauma-informed care across all systems that serve children and families.
SSTA AWARE is a non-profit organization dedicated to spreading awareness and normalizing the conversations surrounding Sibling Sexual Trauma and Abuse.
We grew from the need to bring the stories of lived experts out of the shadows and into the public. Our stories uncover the prevalence, patterns, and behaviors that drive research, education, recovery, and prevention.
