“Whether you are a Children’s Advocacy Center leader, victim advocate, police officer, forensic interviewer, therapist, pediatrician, prosecutor, caseworker, or other child abuse professional, this book was created for you. ... We have effective tools to reduce human suffering as a result of child sexual abuse so that survivors can truly thrive in their adulthood. We also have millions of adult survivors and their allies who are working to reduce the stigma and silence of abuse and advocate for the resources needed to continue this vital work. It’s a motivating time to be a professional who works with children who have experienced abuse, their families, and their communities.”
