What if every home could enforce respect as a non-negotiable standard, backed by real tools to stop abuse before it escalates? Sabrina Osso, survivor of childhood home violence, TEDx speaker, and Osso Safe founder, opens up about turning her trauma into prevention.
From shocking U.S. stats—15 million kids witnessing violence yearly, 1 in 7 men abused, kids suffering most—to her Osso Safe model: a one-time $125/unit certification for landlords including no-abuse policies with immediate eviction, seminars on abuse vs. discipline/respect, a passive app detecting violent movements for alerts (no panic-button needed), and monthly therapist check-ins. Her children's book plants early seeds of safety, agency, and knowing who feels truly safe.
This ties directly to mental health recovery: preventing cycles that lead to substance use, self-harm, isolation. Homes should be sanctuaries—respect builds connection, not fear. A raw call to prioritize prevention over reaction.
• "Abuse is abuse... Children suffer the most."
• Flip the script: education + accountability + tech.
