Wild Iris Hosts Forum to Explore Difficult Issue of Child Sexual Abuse
Mammoth Lakes, CA—No one wants to think about it. We make sure our children are in car seats and seat belts. We walk them across busy streets. We ask our teens where they are going and who they will be with. All to keep them safe. And yet, when it comes to the crime of child sexual abuse, shame, fear, and denial keeps adults—and communities—silent.

Cerro Cosso College
9:00am-12:00 noon or 1:00pm-4:00pm (participants can choose either the morning or afternoon session)
Taining is free, but reservations are required. Please contact Wild Iris to RSVP at 760.934.2491.
