This week we learned the importance of Know. See. Respond. and gained practical tools for preventing child sexual abuse—but our work is never done. The YMCA of Central Stark County is committed to year-round prevention, and we hope you are, too! Stay connected and informed by visiting fivedaysofaction.org.

RESPONDing starts when a child or teen feels heard and is helped. How can you take action to prevent child sexual abuse? The Trusted Triangle (for younger children) and the Safety NETwork (for older youth) are strategies from Lauren’s Kids Safer, Smarter Families Family Safety Toolkit. These resources are designed to help families and caregivers teach personal and digital safety in a comfortable and accessible way.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who inspired change through his unwavering commitment to justice, equity, and unity. His dream of a more inclusive and compassionate world continues to guide and inspire us.

Let’s honor his legacy by coming together to serve our communities and uplift one another—today and every day.
