Hats Off To You In Recognition of April's National Child Abuse Month

Together, let’s let go of the guilt, walk with purpose, and lift our heads high.

Regarding This Event

Theresa Bowe, a luxury realtor, author, philanthropist, and CEO of the 82 Ways foundation, which houses Heels and Motivation and The Don’T Touch Me Movement, serves as the program’s host.

One in ten children are victims of sexual assault or abuse by an adult. Because of fear, trauma, or shame, most people who survived child abuse frequently find it difficult to share their experiences. As a voice against child abuse, I want to foster a secure environment where those who have experienced it can feel empowered to let go of their guilt and connect with others who have experienced it. Others can find freedom and healing via our tales. Although the past cannot be changed, there is something special we can do to positively affect the lives of numerous youngsters.

We want to celebrate you and your survival story at this free event in honour of National Child Abuse Prevention Month. Come take part in the shaping of history. Embrace those who overcame child abuse together. Find the support, healing, and new connections you need to transform your suffering into something meaningful.
