Prevention and Education around Child Sexual Abuse
Julie Ellison from Family Nurturing Center “Stewards for Children”
“Before the age of 18 roughly 20% of our kids are sexually victimized or exploited by trusted, known, adults or more powerful youth. Stewards of Children is a video based, award winning, program which changes not only how we understand the why, when, where of child sexual assault but provides 7 easy, safety steps adults can take to prevent, recognize and react responsibly.” This empowering experience is helpful for child and adult therapists to help educate parents and treat children regarding sexual trauma. Julie Ellison is the Outreach Director of Stewards for Children and a dynamic speaker.
