Mobilizing and Organizing Communities to End Child Sexual Abuse: Lessons Learned from the Just Beginnings Collaborative

Join us on this web conference as we engage in discussion on mobilizing and organizing communities to end child sexual abuse. Our presenters will share their experiences in incorporating indigenous traditions and values to end child sexual abuse in HUD federal housing communities, engaging parents and service providers to prevent child sexual abuse in farmworker communities, and promote holistic conversations about sex and sexuality. Learn from these presenters and their community-centered approaches for mobilizing and organizing to end child sexual abuse.
