National Child Abuse Awareness Month is in April

Child abuse awareness and prevention is extremely important to me.

Please help to kick off this important month by wearing blue tomorrow, Friday, April 1st.

Update on my #WIDR office door project.
Somebody decided they didn't like what they saw. They also wrote: it was my pet cat.
Don't worry, I redid all of it. I don't give up that easy.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

It is a sign of strength.

Build openness. Build awareness. Build comfort. Build trust. Build honesty.

Talking to your children is one of the most important steps.

Child Sexual Abuse Prevention.

Child Sexual Abuse Prevention

📣📣Talk 📣📣To your children

A- Use PROPER names. Stop with the cutesy "not embarassing" names. Penis and Vagina are body parts...just like elbows and knees. Use the correct names so it is clear if a situation is ever disclosed.

Build openness.

[Dr. B @MillyB0415]

E- Normalize asking children if they have experienced a touch or situation that made them uncomfortable, or something that didn't feel right. Don't wait until you suspect something or a situation is disclosed.

Build honesty.

1. 🧵 Tomorrow, the @BORUSG is expected to vote to end tenure for Georgia's public universities. The AAUP has warned that this move will destroy protections for academic freedom, which is indispensable for the quality of teaching and research in higher education.
