No single organization can prevent exploitation or meet every need of a survivor. It takes communities working together.
We're grateful to be part of PHASE Alliance and to have joined so many individuals and organizations at Breaking Bread Together, united by a desire to protect children, support survivors, and create lasting change.
The conversations are just the beginning!

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: International Protection Alliance

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It is strengthened when people and organizations come together to support not only survivors, but the environments surrounding them.

We’re grateful for our partnership with and the meaningful ways they have supported the work of Juniper.

Through their food drives, International Protection Alliance has provided food and essential resources that have helped Juniper respond to immediate needs among the youth and families we serve, allowing our team to support practical needs alongside the trauma-focused therapy, life skills and case management at the heart of Juniper’s work.

Our partnership has also worked in the other direction. When International Protection Alliance was supporting a survivor of s*xual exploitation who needed a safer, more restorative bedroom environment, they connected them with our Rooms Restored program. Together, we were able to transform that space into one designed to offer greater comfort, safety, dignity, and hope.

This is what strong community partnerships can look like: organizations bringing their unique strengths to the table so survivors and families receive more complete support.

Thank you, International Protection Alliance, for your generosity, trust, and commitment to serving individuals and families in our community. We’re grateful to work alongside you.

On September 29, we’re bringing together leaders, professionals, advocates, and community members from across Utah for the 2026 SAFE Symposium: Ending Child Sexual Abuse.

This year, we’ll look at what prevention can accomplish when education, policy, and community response come together including a powerful Utah case that shows how child s*xual abuse prevention education can lead to recognition, action, and protection.

Attendees will hear from experts and professionals working on the front lines, learn what’s working, and explore an important question:

How do we take what works and strengthen prevention across Utah?

Whether you work in education, child advocacy, healthcare, law enforcement, victim services, government or simply care deeply about creating safer communities for children, we hope you'll join us.

📅 Tuesday, September 29

A major step forward for kids online.

Meta has reached a landmark settlement of up to $17.1 billion with a bipartisan coalition representing 47 states, D.C., and several U.S. territories over allegations that Facebook and Instagram were designed with addictive features, exposed young users to serious harms, and misled the public about risks to children.

But the significance of this settlement goes far beyond the dollar amount.

The agreement requires significant changes to how Facebook and Instagram operate for young people including stronger age assurance, a default two-hour daily limit, overnight restrictions, reduced notifications during school hours, greater parental oversight, hidden like counts, and restrictions on certain cosmetic filters.

This represents an important shift: the responsibility for keeping children safe online cannot rest solely on parents and kids. The companies designing the digital spaces where children spend their time have a responsibility, too.

For years, parents, survivors, advocates, researchers, and public officials have raised concerns about digital environments designed to maximize attention and engagement and the impact those design choices can have on young people's well-being.

This settlement sends an important message: when children use technology, their safety and well-being should come before engagement and profit.

There is still significant work ahead. But greater accountability, safer design, and stronger protections for young people are meaningful steps in the right direction.

Children deserve a digital world designed with their well-being in mind.

Today's students learn, connect, and socialize online every day, but so do those looking to exploit them.

As your family heads back to school, take time to strengthen your digital safety plan.

Here are a few places to start:

- Create a family technology agreement that sets clear expectations for device use, social media, and online behavior.

- Turn on parental controls and review privacy settings on phones, tablets, gaming consoles, and apps.

- Know the apps, games, and platforms your child uses and who they're interacting with.

- Have ongoing conversations about grooming, s*xtortion, po*******hy, AI-generated content, and what to do if someone online makes them uncomfortable.

- Make sure your child knows they can come to you without fear of punishment if something goes wrong online.

The most powerful online safety tool isn't technology. It's a trusted relationship.

At PHASE Alliance, we believe prevention starts with education. That's why we encourage every family to build healthy digital habits before problems arise.

What digital safety conversations are you having with your children this school year?

In recognition of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we are reminded that healing extends far beyond awareness. It requires safe, supportive environments where survivors can begin to rebuild. Through Rooms Restored™, we are honored to play a small but meaningful role in that journey.

Recently, we completed several trauma-informed room restorations for children who have experienced s*xual abuse. Each space was thoughtfully designed to reflect comfort, safety, and individuality—transforming what was once just a room into a place of peace and restoration. While these changes may seem simple, the impact is profound. For many of these children, having a space that feels truly their own can foster a sense of security, dignity, and hope.

We are deeply grateful to be part of creating environments where healing can begin—one room at a time.

We don't just raise awareness about exploitation—we build pathways out of it.
Summer is a season of freedom, adventure, and more time online.

It's also a season when many young people spend significantly more time on social media, gaming platforms, messaging apps, and livestreams—spaces where grooming and exploitation can occur.

The answer isn't fear.

It's preparation.

Open conversations.
Digital resilience.
Critical thinking.
Trusted adults.
Healthy relationships.

These protective factors can make all the difference.

At Fight the New Drug , Malouf Foundation and PHASE Alliance, we believe education empowers young people to recognize manipulation before it becomes exploitation.

Let's keep the conversation going.

5 Things People Often Misunderstand About Trauma

• Trauma is not defined by the event—it's defined by its impact.

• Healing doesn't happen on a timeline.

• Behaviors often make sense when we understand what someone has lived through.

• Safety is a prerequisite for healing.

• With the right support, people can and do recover.

At the Malouf Foundation, we see that hope every day through programs like Juniper and Rooms Restored.

Healing is possible.
