One of the best ways you can prevent child abuse — and to get help for those who’ve survived it — is to spread the word, educate the public and bring issues related to child sexual trauma to the forefront. The Firecracker Foundation is ready and available to assist the media in any way we can. Please contact us for inquiries about the Foundation itself, or topics related to child sexual trauma.
