ABOUT THE DIALOGUE ...
Conversations about child sexual abuse - whether they are private
discussions in our homes or public discussions in the media - always
seem to begin and end the same way. There's no doubt a problem exists,
but also no idea what we can do about it. After all, right here in
Virginia 1 in 4 women and 1 in 5 men have been a victim of child sexual
assault.

Where do we even start to address such a big issue?
The answer begins with talking about the issue constructively with
everyone who is affected, and the Stop It Now!(r) dialogue is designed
to do just that. It will bring together survivors, recovering sex
offenders, family members, and treatment providers to offer their
stories of hope and begin to create a more optimistic reality in our
community where all adults understand the role they can play in stopping
child sexual abuse before it starts. Indeed, this is a unique
opportunity to learn from those directly affected by sexual abuse.
