Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a silent epidemic throughout the United States and the world, creating social havoc - for the children, adult survivors, and society. It can be prevented and it can be treated, but a conscious and sustained effort is both missing and essential.
Also, we have some great looking T-shirts left that will allow you to show your
support and make the statement that you want to help Stop the Silence about
child sexual abuse! The shirts are high grade Smarter Performance Wear from
Sports ScienceĀ®, i.e., athletic shirts that retail for $20 -- we're selling them
for $10 each while supplies last (we are out of XXLs). If you'd like one or
more, please send the following information, along with a check for $10 each
plus $3.50 shipping, to Pamela Pine, Stop the Silence, P.O. Box 127, Glenn Dale,
MD 20769, and we'll get them out in a jiffy:

Help Us Raise Funds!
Raising funds for a focus on child sexual abuse and prevention is not easy. People have difficulty addressing it, talking about it, acknowledging that it happens. Few agencies are funding a primary focus on its prevention or its treatment.
There are an estimated 40-60 million survivors of child sexual abuse in our country alone! Isn't it only right to have at least $1 for each survivor? Obviously, this is a very ambitious goal, but certainly worth undertaking. Help us make just a little dent in addressing a comprehensive program to prevent and treat CSA. Any and all amounts are welcome. You can make your contribution electronically through the link above, purchase books and magazines where we benefit, or send a check or money order to:
Stop the Silence, Inc.
