With over 90% of child sexual abuse perpetrated by people known and trusted by the child, adult education is essential to effective empowerment of children and taking necessary steps to reduce risk and create safer environments. 

The Mama Bear Effect works to raise awareness and educate adults to understand how to improve safety, build stronger bonds with their children, and be prepared to prioritize the safety and health of children. 

Through our free educational website and resources and printed educational materials and trainings, we work to end the stigma and lack of awareness that holds communities back from understanding the risk and properly protecting children.
