Anne supports Darkness to Light's approach to child abuse prevention. Child sexual abuse is no longer society's darkest secret. Darkness to Light is raising awareness and helping communities across the nation understand the issue and dangers of child sexual abuse.
   Join the Fight
Imagine how you can provide resources of hope, healing and help to abused children, their families and adult survivors of child sexual abuse. We know that the scars of abuse only begin to heal when victims are heard, believed and protected. That’s what we’re all about!

Darkness to Light, a 501c3 organization, needs your help to continue our work. We know these are difficult economic times, but our program cannot call a time-out.

How do I help? What can I do?
Translate your care and concern for innocent children into action. Become a voice of courage.

    Step 1: Learn the facts
Realities—not trust—should influence your decisions regarding your child.

Step 2: Minimize Opportunity
If you eliminate or reduce one-adult/one-child situations, you’ll dramatically lower the risk of sexual abuse for your child.

Step 3: Talk about it
Children often keep abuse a secret, but barriers can be broken down by talking openly about it.

Step 4: Stay Alert
Don’t expect obvious signs when a child is being sexually abused.

Step 5: Make a Plan
Learn where to go, who to call and how to react.

Step 6: Act on Suspicions
The future well-being of a child is at stake.

Step 7: Get involved
Volunteer and financially support organizations that fight the tragedy of child sexual abuse.
