Today we speak with Karen Denison Clark as she courageously recounts her journey from being a young tennis star victimized by her coach, to becoming a fearless advocate against sexual abuse.
Her narrative, shared through powerful media outlets, including The New York Times, serves not only as a beacon of hope for survivors but also as a call to action for creating environments where victims feel safe to voice their experiences.
By establishing a foundation of trust and openness, parents can create a safe space for their children to express their feelings and experiences, should they choose to do so. Highlights:
- Why it is not too late to talk to your adult children now
- The impact of repressed memories and the journey to recovery
- Encouraging open communication about uncomfortable topics
- Tips for parents on initiating conversations with adult children
- Advocating for awareness and change regarding sexual abuse policies
- The importance of believing survivors and nurturing their voices
- Fostering a supportive environment for future generations
- The surprising rules at Colleges and Universities that still allow relationships between coaches, professors and other people in positions of leadership with students. Read Karen's OP-ED here.
