The biggest thing was the relief of knowing that we could focus on our family and our healing.

The kids that have experienced sexual abuse or any other type of trauma aren't damaged goods. They're actually - conversely - very resilient, brave minds who are going to create wonderful greatness in our community.

Thomas Mitchell

Executive Director, Hope House

I really wish that people would understand how much it actually affects the child in their daily life and for their future if they do not get the assistance that they need.

Detective Karole Muller

Mandeville Police Department

“

The thing that I wish the public understood the most is that 90% of the kids abused know their abuser, and 90% of the kids abused delay reporting.

Collin Sims

District Attorney, 22nd Judicial District

We’re all in this together and it affects all of us.
