Synopsis
Emotional abuse is the most prevalent form of child maltreatment in Australia, affecting 57 per cent of children surveyed between 2022 and 2023, according to Act for Kids. Despite this alarming statistic, only half of Australians would report suspected abuse. Child and Family Counsellor & Psychotherapist Kopal Sinha points out the cultural barriers that often prevent children from sharing their experiences and stresses the importance of parents fostering a safe environment for open communication.
