Lori Poland is the Executive Director of The National Foundation to End Child Abuse and Neglect (EndCAN). EndCAN raises awareness of the health, mental health and public health impacts of abuse, as well as focusing on funding research; investing in innovative child abuse prevention and treatment; and supporting a community for survivors. 

Lori was abducted at three years old from her front yard by a stranger who abused her and placed her in the pit of an outhouse toilet, where she stayed for 3½ days until being rescued by bird watchers. Her life has since been dedicated to healing and helping others affected by abuse.
