Preventing Child Sexual Abuse in the COVID Era – Webinar
This webinar is for professionals, parents, and caregivers seeking support, information, and resources to help protect children from sexual abuse and to empower adults, families, and communities to take actions that prevent harm to children.
Founded in 1992 by Fran Henry, a survivor who learned first-hand the complexities of sexual abuse, Stop It Now! prevents the sexual abuse of children. It does this by mobilizing adults, families, and communities to take actions that protect children before they are harmed. Stop It Now! provides support, information, and resources to keep children safe and create healthier communities while keeping the focus on adult responsibility and accountability. As a part of this mission, Stop It Now! offers help for personal situations through a confidential national prevention Helpline.
In this webinar, Jenny Coleman discusses:
-
- What is known about how stay-at-home orders are impacting families concerned with child sexual abuse.
-
- How individuals are seeking help for their own sexual attractions for minors and addressing their at-risk behaviors.
-
