Bravehearts Executive Research Advisory Panel
Bravehearts’ Executive Research Advisory Panel works towards advancing knowledge and research into matters relating to child sexual abuse, and its impacts on survivors and non-offending family members. We are proud of the diversity of the Executive Research Advisory Panel, both in the range of disciplines of its members as well as in the differing views represented.
