You Can Keep Children Safe
Creating safe environments where children and teens are safe from sexual harm is everyone’s responsibility. Join us by taking steps to protect the children in your community from sexual abuse.
Action 1: Get the facts and pass them on.
Myths and stereotypes can get in the way of protecting children. Check out Stop It Now!’s research-based publications to get the latest information on child sexual abuse. Learn what steps you can take to ensure a healthy childhood for the children in your life.

Action 2: Start talking!
Too often no one talks about the possibility of abuse until after a child is harmed. Talk with your family and friends about what you are doing to protect your children and ask what they think. Bring a Stop It Now! handout or guidebook to your school, faith community, or community group to start the discussion.

Action 3: Blog for Stop It Now!
