He’s a powerful advocate for change and firmly believes we can collectively create a better future for our children.Chris shares his personal journey into advocacy, the founding story behind Saprea, and how they’re helping survivors heal while preventing future abuse. We explore staggering stats (like how 1 in 8 children experience abuse by age 18), and dive into the long-term impacts like mental health struggles, substance use, incarceration that too often stem from untreated trauma.We also talk about:The power of community in trauma healingSaprea’s in-person and online programs (including retreats, webinars, and survivor-led support groups)How parents can protect kids with principle-based prevention (not just outdated “tactics”)Why survivor-led prevention could be the key to ending the cycleThis episode is both heartbreaking and hopeful—if you’re a survivor, parent, professional, or advocate, you’ll walk away with insight, tools, and renewed energy to create change.To access Saprea’s free resources or get involved, visit saprea.org.Connect with Chris on LinkedInFollow Saprea on TikTok
