Very educational and eye opening

As a teacher I have a very unique place in the lives of many kids. As I gain my students trust they eventually come to me for advice or to vent and I want to be ready for all situations. I am also listening to this podcast as a way of better understanding the signs and how to help if I know a child has been abused. Last year I dealt with a situation of emotional child abuse and I only recognized it because I had been taught the signs before hand. Thank you for this resource and helping me to better understand what some children and adults are dealing with silently. I am also a long time church member and I have never heard anyone talk about, much less help children or adults with sexual abuse recovery. I have unfortunately been privy to churches sweeping things under the rug and allowing the predator to keep working around children. I believe in forgiveness but that DOES NOT mean forgetting or allowing it to happen again.
