TAKE THE FIRST STEP

Were you a victim of
childhood sexual assault
 in church, school or youth activities?

No child should ever have been subjected to abuse. We are
holding institutions accountable for these actions.  If you or a loved one suffered sexual assault as a child by a Catholic clergy member or religious leader, Boy Scout troop leader or scoutmaster, teacher, coach or other institutional figure, don't hesitate to call.
