In this 90-minute panel, renowned child abuse prevention experts, researchers, and advocates discuss:

• Joan's accomplishments
• What child sexual abuse prevention was like in the 1980s and 1990s
• Community child sexual abuse prevention strategies
• Intersections of racism and child sexual abuse prevention
• What the future of child sexual abuse may look like
• The importance of joy in prevention work
• And more!

Warmly,

Jenny Coleman

Stop It Now! Director

P.S. Donations in Joan's honor are still being accepted. All gifts made will be split evenly between two organizations meaningful to Joan: Stop It Now! and MASOC, and will support the future of the work Joan values so dearly.

The Founder's Award is given in honor of the compassion and hope that Now!'s founder, Fran Henry, courageously and brilliantly brought to the field of child sexual abuse prevention.

Joan embodies this compassion and strength, and she has been essential not only as one of Now!'s original, closest companions and consultants, but also as a force for prevention in the world at large.
