Child Sexual Abuse Prevention | React vs Respond | Episode 1 | Saprea |
![]() |
Picture this: Your child just asked you a question about an unhealthy or harmful sexual behavior. Or maybe they’ve exhibited an unhealthy or harmful sexual behavior. Or they’re confessing that someone has been making them feel uncomfortable and they want to tell you all about it. In any of these situations, your goal will be to respond and not react.
What's the difference? When you react you do so without thinking; you’ll say or do things based on the moment, the emotions you’re feeling, and maybe any rules that were broken, and you may end up doing or saying something you regret. When you respond, it leads to an open conversation and will create trust between you and your child. At Saprea, we liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. We have services that help child sexual abuse survivors find healing from the traumatic effects that have often followed them into adulthood, as well as resources for parents and caregivers to learn how to lower the risk of child sexual abuse in their own homes and communities.
