PODCAST EP 24 with Feather Berkower: Abuse Prevention via Grooming Prevention

Feather Berkower, a child sexual assault prevention expert talks with me about some of the biggest lessons she's learned from abusers and how we can use this knowledge to prevent our kids from experiencing this kind of trauma. We also discussed what parents should do if their child has already been abused so they can prevent them from being revictimized in the future.

Are you willing to feel a little uncomfortable, so your children don't have to. Because when we turn our backs to this crime, children pay the price.
