1 in 4 girls will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday. Through education we are working to change those odds and make an impact on a child’s life.

The signs that an adult may be using their relationship with a child for sexual reasons may not be obvious and we need to know the signs, so we can watch out for them.

Shared by the Institute of Child Psychology: Our window of tolerance refers to how much space we have to be present, to be productive, to be creative & to give to others. During periods of stress the “arch” shrinks & we either shut down or blow up. Graphic Credit: #lindsaybraman

Please make regular check-ins with vulnerable individuals in your household and neighborhood – those who are physically infirm, have mental health issues, or are unable to speak up for themselves. All of us have a role to play in preventing sexual abuse and keeping society safe.

Although we made the necessary decision to cancel #NAPNConference2020 the sting of being unable to welcome you all in Portland today is definitely there. Today would have been day 1 of our 3-day National Conference in partnership w/OASOTN. Not to worry, though. We will be back!
