Child sexual abuse is a childhood adversity that remains present in the lives of many Wisconsin children. Thankfully, there are effective ways to stop sexual abuse from happening.
Together we can prevent child sexual abuse.
Awareness to Action is a program of Children’s Wisconsin focused on preventing child sexual abuse before it happens. We support communities across the state to prevent sexual abuse through awareness, education, advocacy, and action.
