Little Warriors and the Fight to End Child Sexual Abuse in Canada with Dr. Wanda Holman
Len Lane sits down with Dr. Wanda Holman, CEO of Little Warriors, a nationally recognized charity dedicated to preventing and treating child sexual abuse. Dr. Holman shares the inspiring story behind the organization’s founding by Glory Meldrum, herself a survivor, and how it has grown into a beacon of hope through its programs and services.
Dr. Holman talks about their Prevent It! program, which educates adults on recognizing and preventing abuse, and the Be Brave Ranch, Canada’s only intensive, trauma-informed treatment center designed specifically for children and adolescents who have experienced sexual abuse. Dr. Holman also highlights their Wrap Them in Love initiative, where quilts handmade across Canada are gifted to each child as a symbol of comfort and support during therapy.
The conversation dives into the real challenges facing families, including the alarming rise in online sexual exploitation, and explores how Little Warriors continues to evolve with new programs for adults and families dealing with intergenerational trauma. From community resource committees to volunteer opportunities and annual fundraisers like the Little Warriors Luncheon and Golf Tournament, Dr. Holman emphasizes how every contribution of every size helps protect and heal children across Canada.
