To not only educate on sexual abuse and empower survivors to get help, but prevent abuse from happening in the first place. Now, before I joined Childhood Victories, I was with a non-profit for 5 years. During that time I came across a story. I want to share it with you now. https://www.victorpacini.com/educate-now-prevent-later -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Victor Pacini's Book, The Erin's Law Solution: The Safe Way To Teach Sexual Abuse Awareness to Students that Gives Social Workers, Teachers, and Parents Peace of Mind. http://erinslawsolutionbook.com ---------------- Meet Victor Pacini and Childhood Victories --------------- http://www.ChildhoodVictories.com https://Programs.VictorPacini.com Childhood Victories, Inc is about guiding and helping children increase their personal happiness by empowering them to have a voice and NOT stay silent in

Like most people, I was devastated when we went into lockdown back in March. I'm the kind of person who likes to stay busy; Being stuck at home was incredibly overwhelming the first two weeks. I had to find a way to cope with not working every day, the urge to binge-eat, and keeping my 3-year-old occupied. Here are the ways I went about turning a negative into a positive. https://www.victorpacini.com/turning-a-negative-into-a-positive -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Victor Pacini's Book, The Erin's Law Solution: The Safe Way To Teach Sexual Abuse Awareness to Students that Gives Social Workers, Teachers, and Parents Peace of Mind. http://erinslawsolutionbook.com ---------------- Meet Victor Pacini and Childhood Victories --------------- http://www.ChildhoodVictories.com https://Programs.VictorPacini.com

A code word is a term a child can use to alert their parents that they are uncomfortable, without having to be detailed. Your child needs you and they can’t be too specific on why they need you. https://www.victorpacini.com/the-importance-of-code-words -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Victor Pacini's Book, The Erin's Law Solution: The Safe Way To Teach Sexual Abuse Awareness to Students that Gives Social Workers, Teachers, and Parents Peace of Mind. http://erinslawsolutionbook.com ---------------- Meet Victor Pacini and Childhood Victories --------------- http://www.ChildhoodVictories.com https://Programs.VictorPacini.com Childhood Victories, Inc is about guiding and helping children increase their personal happiness by empowering them to have a voice and NOT stay silent in all areas of personal struggle.

Get the Mp3 transcript here https://www.victorpacini.com/delayed-disclosures-and-why-we-wait Working in the field of sexual abuse prevention, I get a lot of questions. What is sexual abuse? Can an abuser be a minor? Does abuse have to be recurring or does a one-time-act fall under the umbrella? Do children make up allegations? Do perpetrators go to prison often? Once you talk about it aren't you over it? Honestly, I love these questions. I have the opportunity to educate and hopefully ignite some empathy for victims and survivors. Today I want to tackle the questions on delayed disclosures and why we wait. https://www.victorpacini.com/delayed-disclosures-and-why-we-wait -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Victor Pacini's Book, The Erin's Law Solution: The Safe Way To Teach Sexual Abuse Awareness to Students that Gives Social Workers, Teachers, and Parents Peace of Mind. http://erinslawsolutionbook.com ---------------- Meet Victor Pacini and Childhood Victories --------------- http://www.Childhood

Get the Mp3 transcript here https://www.victorpacini.com/conversations-when-the-unthinkable-happens I have always been into social media. Throughout high school and college I dove into Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and now (even as a millennial) TikTok. When I got into prevention work back in 2014, I began to LOVE social media. People around the world were using the internet to speak out against injustices. They spread awareness to millions of people instantly. Survivors sharing their stories, awareness surrounding taboo topics like abuse, and so many resources to help others. But I'll have to admit...social media has begun to frustrate me. I've seen thousands of posts with the hashtags "save our children/save the children" with seemingly no action steps people can take to actually help. So I wanted to compile a list of tangible things we can do....and how to be more than just a hashtag. https://www.victorpacini.com/conversations-when-the-unthinkable-happens -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Vic

As parents it’s easy to slip from work talk to family talk and back again. I’m sure we’re not alone in this. Sometimes it just feels necessary to share unforgettable moments with kids. I feel like being a mom has become a huge part of my identity; I can’t help but talk about how awesome my kid is. Or how crazy energetic he is. Or how he’s a pretty good negotiator for being three. https://www.victorpacini.com/unforgettable-moments-with-kids -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Victor Pacini's Book, The Erin's Law Solution: The Safe Way To Teach Sexual Abuse Awareness to Students that Gives Social Workers, Teachers, and Parents Peace of Mind. http://erinslawsolutionbook.com ---------------- Meet Victor Pacini and Childhood Victories --------------- http://www.ChildhoodVictories.com https://Programs.VictorPacini.com Childhood Victories, Inc is about guiding and

Get the Mp3 transcript here https://www.victorpacini.com/everything-pixar Like a lot of millennials, I grew up watching everything Pixar. Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Monsters Inc, Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and The Incredibles were watched countless times. My siblings and myself would huddle together in our living room and escape through the cartoons. We watched them so often we could say the lines in sync with the characters. We knew when to yell “that’s you!” at each other when an ugly or particularly evil character came on screen. We bonded through our trauma, sure. But we also grew incredibly close watching movies together. ~Deanna Hynes https://www.victorpacini.com/everything-pixar -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Victor Pacini's Book, The Erin's Law Solution: The Safe Way To Teach Sexual Abuse Awareness to Students that Gives Social Workers, Teachers, and Parents Peace of Mind. http://erinslawsolutionbook.com ---------------- Meet Victor Pacini and Childhood Victories --------------- http:/

Get the Mp3 transcript here https://www.victorpacini.com/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-life Growing up in the home that I did, there wasn’t much room for feelings. I mean, I had feelings for sure. To acknowledge the pain from abuse would have warped my reality, though. To keep myself safe as a kid, I compartmentalized the anger, resentment, and pain. That avoidance came at a price. My happiness was pushed down too. My mind and body said, “It’s all the feelings or none of them, Deanna!” Ultimately, it wasn’t until I was 21 years old where I began to manage the good, the bad, and the ugly of life. https://www.victorpacini.com/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-life -------------------- Get Your Free Copy Of Victor Pacini's Book, The Erin's Law Solution: The Safe Way To Teach Sexual Abuse Awareness to Students that Gives Social Workers, Teachers, and Parents Peace of Mind. http://erinslawsolutionbook.com ---------------- Meet Victor Pacini and Childhood Victories --------------- http://www.ChildhoodVictor
