Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and believed.

Serenity Place, LLC President Esther Vanderwal, LCSW-C works to help ensure children and families have the support they need to begin healing. Drawing from both professional and personal experience, she reminds us that a child's story is not defined by what happened to them.

Children are more than victims. They are survivors with the strength to heal.

What happens when a survivor is legally prevented from speaking about abuse?

In this episode of our One in Ten podcast, Elizabeth Carlock Phillips shares the story behind Trey’s Law, inspired by her late brother Trey, whose experience revealed how non-disclosure agreements can impact survivors long after a civil case ends.

We explore the growing movement to end NDAs in child sexual abuse and trafficking cases and strengthen survivor rights and accountability.
