Episode Summary
Katelyn N. Brewer, CEO of Darkness To Light, joins me to talk about how we can all take action to prevent child sexual abuse and why it’s so important, NOW, more than ever to address this silent epidemic. COVID-19 lockdowns have made the problem worse, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t solutions.
Episode Notes
In this episode, we talk about the power of this non-profit organization, which is one of the largest and most robust organizations in the United States.
We talked about the work they’re doing to help diverse and marginalized communities.
We discussed what the problem of sexual abuse looks like today compared to pre-COVID.
And we talk about the many solutions that parents and caregivers alike can use to battle this problem before it continues to spiral out of control.
There is so much that we can do if we are willing to start the conversations early.
Child sexual abuse is preventable and it’s our duty to protect all children from this violent crime.
