Attendees will hear from prevention leader Elizabeth Letourneau in a keynote challenging the field to move from awareness to action.
“We’ve Waited Too Long: A Roadmap for How Child Sexual Abuse Can Be Prevented Today” begins with a screening from the Survivor Film Series by the Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse, centering survivor voices and calls for prevention.
A fireside conversation moderated by survivor advocate Trinea Gonczar will follow, featuring Letourneau and journalist Luke Malone. The discussion will explore their forthcoming book, One in Five: Why Child Sexual Abuse Is Our Biggest Public Health Crisis and What We Can Do to Stop It, and outline a practical roadmap for national prevention.
Together, the session highlights how survivor leadership, research, and proven strategies can work together to prevent child sexual abuse—showing that the tools already exist, and the time to act is now.
