Professionals who deal with child sexual abuse risk cognitive, emotional, social, and sexual injuries (Silent Injuries) from their exposure to a universal toxin. Symptoms can range from sleep disturbance to depression to relationship problems. Silent Injuries, Inc. helps protect child sexual abuse professionals against Silent Injuries, so we will maintain professional competence and enjoy healthy, well balanced lives. Our contributions include curriculum development, specialized training, consultation services and health forum.

Since earning his Master’s degree from the University of Arizona in 1982, Mr. Emerick has developed and managed treatment programs for child sexual abuse survivors and perpetrators in the United States and Canada. In addition to teaching child sexual abuse professionals about sex offender investigation, treatment and supervision, he develops curriculum to help professionals reduce vulnerability to potential career related injuries. He has lectured about Silent Injuries to child sexual abuse professionals at various state, provincial, and national conferences sponsored by organizations such as Abel Screening, California Coalition on Sex Offending, International Association of Forensic Nurses, National Children’s Advocacy Center, and the National College of District Attorneys.

The Silent Injuries Questionnaire evolved from an earlier trauma inventory (Sexual Trauma Inventory – STI) developed to measure trauma symptomatology among primary child sexual abuse survivors (Emerick, 1993). The STI was modified to investigate the relationship between a child sexual abuse professional’s work related experiences and potential cognitive, emotional, social, and sexual injuries (Silent Injuries).
