PREVENTION, TRAINING
& EDUCATION

Enough Abuse

The Enough Abuse Campaign is a grassroots movement that originated in Massachusetts by the Massachusetts Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Partnership and is gaining momentum across the country.

Recognized by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as "...a trailblazing effort to prevent child sexual abuse by building a movement of concerned citizens, community by community," the Campaign has been adopted by Children's Home Society of South Dakota in partnership with the Center for the Prevention of Child Maltreatment for distribution and training throughout the state of South Dakota

About The Enough Abuse Campaign

The Enough Abuse Campaign is a movement-building initiative working nationally and in states to prevent child sexual abuse by:

  • Educating parents and the public;
  • Training child/family-serving professionals;
  • Promoting prevention policies in schools and youth organizations
  • Advocating for laws to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation

Citizens, communities, schools and youth-serving organizations benefit from the Campaign’s training and policy work around safe child policies that support identifying and responding to boundary-violating behaviors before they can escalate to reportable, illegal sexual offenses. Legislative proposals supported and promoted by the Campaign are succeeding in giving survivors opportunities to seek justice through the courts, holding abusers accountable, and preventing the future sexual abuse of more children.

The Enough Abuse Campaign continues to partner with community, state and national leaders, citizens, survivors, providers and funders to build the movement to end child sexual abuse in communities everywhere.

It’s Not Just Jenna is a compelling 30-minute video featuring the true story of a family whose lives were changed after 16-year old Jenna Quinn revealed that she had been sexually abused by a trusted family friend. The Quinn family’s willingness to share their journey of discovery will help others learn how to prevent child sexual abuse by education.

In the final session, participants will learn how to receive a disclosure–and how to offer support to the individual and the investigation.

Objectives:

  • Learn behaviors to be aware of in adults that might indicate they pose a risk to children
  • Understand ways sexual abusers “groom” or establish trust with potential victims and their families
  • Recognize behaviors to be aware of in children or teens that might indicate they are being or have been sexually abused
  • Know why it’s difficult for victims of child sexual abuse to disclose
  • Learn how to respond when we see behaviors in an adult, child, or teen that indicate they might be involved in sexual abuse.

Audience: Community Members, Professionals, Parents

Trainer: Presented by a Certified Enough Abuse Trainer.
