🔊 Why Prevention Matters Child sexual abuse (CSA) is not just a moment in time—it’s a trauma that can echo across a lifetime. Mental health struggles. Physical health issues. Broken trust. Survivors carry wounds that aren’t always visible—but they are real. 📽️ In this short video clip, Becky Clark Mays, Executive Director of Safe Communities, explores the long-term impact of CSA—and why prevention is so much more than stopping abuse in the moment. It’s about stopping a life-altering trauma before it begins. 💬 “The pain doesn’t end when the abuse stops. The body and brain remember.” This clip is part of our free on-demand workshop, Keeping Your Kids Safe: Child Sexual Abuse Prevention 101, available 24/7 at safecommunitiespa.org. ▶️ Watch now: https://loom.ly/P-ak-kM 🔗 Learn more: safecommunitiespa.org 🛡️ Healing is possible.
