Reducing the Risk of Childhood Sexual Abuse

Content Warning This episode will cover sensitive content that may be triggering or upsetting. Please be mindful of your own experience and life in deciding if this episode is for you.  April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, so for the first episode in April on It's a Code You!, we will be reposting an episode from last April where we will go in-depth in talking about how you can reduce the risk of childhood sexual abuse. Over 90% of children who are sexually abused are abused by someone their parents know and trust. There are ways that you can be more aware, speak up when something makes you uncomfortable, and even follow guidelines for community and school activities that can help to reduce risk.
