Educate

Adult education is key to preventing child sexual abuse. With education and training, most abuse can be prevented or interrupted.

Research

Research broadens our understanding of how abuse occurs and can help us better prevent it. We have developed the only evidence-informed, adult focused child sexual abuse prevention training.

Advocate

We empower caregivers, community leaders, government officials, & the media to motivate their constituents, congregants, and communities to take preventive action.
