Your voice can break the cycle of abuse. As a survivor and advocate, I bring powerful strategies to empower teens and communities through my A.C.T. Now program. The framework desires to transform individual awareness, spur action, and create communities where children are protected, survivors are supported, and healing becomes possible.

 

If you suspect child abuse, call the National Child Abuse Hotline: 1-800-4ACHILD (800-422-4453).  You can also contact your local county Department of Human Resources for help.

A.C.T. NOW:  A Response Mnemonic for addressing abuse when someone

confides abuse, ACT with purpose:  

• A: Acknowledge what you hear without judgement

• C: Connect the person with an appropriate trusted adult

• T: Be Trustworthy with the information

 

For survivors on the healing journey, ACT with conviction:  

• A: Accept without blame. The harm you experienced was never                                                                                                            your fault and does not determine your worth

• C: Cultivate courage and strength. Healing is a journey, moving at your pace.                                                                                 Your resilience is greater than your wounds.

• T: Trust your voice and in the right support – Sharing your story with someone safe                                                                            breaks the chains of silence and can be first step toward freedom
