Statistics show that 95% of sexual abuse is preventable through education. Educating adults and children is the most effective way to combat sexual abuse. While sexual abuse is never a comfortable topic to discuss at any age, understanding the issue and learning how to prevent it is critically important. In this episode, the team dives into the first part of the two-part series as we cover topics from our prevention workshops such as: what constitutes contact and non-contact and sexual abuse, what the grooming process looks like, behavioral and physical symptoms of sexual abuse to look out for, and how to open the door to honest conversations with children. Prevention is the first line of defense in protecting children from sexual abuse, and if you are a parent or caregiver, this episode is too important to miss!
