New Jersey Resources

I'm back in California and settling down a bit. New Jersey was great! Thank you to Paula, Pat, Christen, Alex, Maria, Annie, TCNJ Bonners, Womenspace, and all other sponsors of the forum last Thursday.

It was great to see a range of students, staff, community organizations and community members come out to the event. We had a great Q&A session that could have gone on for hours! If I didn't get to your question, please feel free to post a comment and ask me! I am glad that people are curious and wanting to hear more about child abuse and child sexual enslavement. It's no easy topic and it really challenges us to look at our own views and values, as well as our own lives.

Speaking of, I want to remind the New Jersey folks of resources in your area:
TCNJ Office of Antiviolence
The Dept. of Children and Families in NJ
Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) - Support abused youth through the legal process
Polaris Project (anti-slavery organization)

Lastly, check out The Times of Trenton article about last week's forum!
