Mission and Objectives
​
Our Prevention Connection is dedicated to empowering businesses, faith-based groups, educational institutions, and other organizations in their efforts to prevent sexual misconduct and child sexual abuse before it occurs. The initiative focuses on proactive prevention, emphasizing the importance of effective training and the implementation of robust policies.
​
Proactive Prevention Strategies
​
By providing comprehensive training and encouraging organizations to adopt strong preventative measures, Our Prevention Connection seeks to address issues of harassment and abuse at their roots. This proactive approach not only helps organizations safeguard their members but also mitigates the risk of legal problems associated with such behaviors.
​
Protecting Organizations and Individuals
​
Effective prevention efforts serve a dual purpose: they protect organizations from legal complications and shield victims from the personal devastation caused by illegal conduct. Through awareness, education, and policy development, Our Prevention Connection aims to create safer environments and prevent harm before it happens.
​
Why the Urgency?
​
Child sexual abuse can have far reaching and devastating consequences for those victimized by it. Did you know that:
-
One in 10 children will be sexually abused before age 18.
-
There are approximately 42 million sexual abuse survivors in the United States.
-
70-80% of sexual abuse survivors report excessive drug and alcohol use.
-
14% of all men in prison and 39% of all women in prison were abused as children.
-
Among male survivors, 50% have suicidal thoughts and more 20% attempt suicide
​
With regard to sexual harassment -actual or alleged- in the workplace it can create a hostile work environment and can be extremely disruptive, resulting in reduced productivity, damaged reputations, impeded career advancement and cost employers billions of dollars in litigation and settlements. Subsequently, establishing a comprehensive prevention program Is both a business and moral necessity and OPC can show you how to do it.
