Surviving Abuse & Telling The Kids About It: Video Interview with Lauren Book

by | Mar 4, 2015 | Across Generations, InPower Women Blog, Work-Life Blend

 

How do you talk about abuse if you’re a survivor? What do you tell children about abuse? Surviving abuse is one of the most challenging things to talk to anyone about, much less your children, and yet it can be so important to anyone’s sense of power to talk about the most awful things. Join this unique interview with Dana and Lauren Book, about her experience with abuse and how she’s turned it into an inpowering campaign to educate and empower children and survivors at every age. – InPower Editors

Here is some of what we’ll discuss:

  • Most of us hear “abuse” and think domestic violence between and woman and her husband, which wasn’t your experience. What’s the reality of sexual abuse today for children, women and everyone?
  • You’re a “model” of survivorship – what are the keys to surviving any kind of abuse? Do you still have dark days?
  • How can we talk to our kids about abuse without scaring them?
