The non-profit corporation TAALK, Talk About Abuse to Liberate Kids, was formed to increase awareness of the child sexual abuse epidemic and educate the public on ways to protect kids. Starting April 23, 2008, TAALK will offer daily e-mail tips to educate adults to prevent and recognize child sexual abuse and to take proactive steps to protect children.
Laguna Niguel, California (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 – In support of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, TAALK is launching a daily e-mail tip series on child sexual abuse prevention called TAALK Tips. To sign up for the program, simply visit http://www.taalk.org/taalk_tips.html.
One in four girls and one in six boys is sexually abused before the age of 18. Victims of child sexual abuse are at greater risk than the general population for psychological, emotional, social and physical health problems which often last into adulthood. These problems often appear as depression and suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, drug and alcohol dependencies, school and/or financial failure, teenage pregnancy and promiscuity and criminal behavior.
"Child sexual abuse is clearly a community problem, but child sexual abuse prevention is a personal decision, said TAALK's founder, Diane Cranley.Protecting children from sexual abuse doesn’t come naturally, it’s a skill set that every adult must learn if they want to protect the children in their circle of influence.”
According to Cranley, "The TAALK Tips e-mail series is a convenient way for adults to learn new behaviors that will significantly lower the risk of abuse and the daily delivery is the best way to keep these newly formed behaviors top-of-mind until they become habit.”
Child sexual abuse is a major public health issue that demands the public's attention. Anyone concerned about preventing child sexual abuse in their community is encouraged to subscribe to TAALK Tips at http://www.taalk.org/taalk_tips.html. TAALK’s founder, Diane Cranley, is available for general interviews as well as her TAALK Tips daily radio interview series. She can be reached at 1-888-808-6558 or visit www.taalk.org.
