Resources for Parents, Caregivers and Children to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse Beyond the Research- Advice for Preventing Child Sexual Abuse

Elizabeth Letourneau recommends that parents and caregivers follow a few simple steps to reduce the risk of child sexual abuse and for detecting the warning signs of potential sexual abuse problems.

Families play an important role in safeguarding children from harm and preventing child sexual abuse.

The resources presented here were reviewed by the Moore Center team and other experts for credibility of source, utility in terms of actionable advice, timeliness of the advice, user-friendliness, and accessibility. We do not include all possible resources; rather, the selection is limited to include high-quality resources generated by reputable organizations that, where possible, are available in multiple languages.

Please email MooreCenter@jh.edu to submit additional resources for consideration.
