It’s a subject that isn’t easy to discuss, yet it’s been happening all over America, and time has now come to hold these sexual predators and criminals accountable. When our trusted clergymen, church volunteers, nuns, priests and fathers take advantage of our youths it creates scars that can last a lifetime.
It may be hard to talk about if you’ve been sexually abused and we understand the trauma that’s occurred, but we need you to take a stand with the thousands of other sex crime victims in calling these people accountable.

There are many organizations that can help you with counseling, or simply connecting with others in order to help you heal.
