A few words from newly elected 2026 ChildSafe Board President Rawls Weber ...
I am a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. Those words are not easy to write but I share them because healing from this kind of trauma is not something anyone should have to do alone. Therapy quite literally saves lives β it offers survivors a place to reclaim our voices, rebuild trust, and learn that what happened to us does not define who we are.
When we invest in therapy for survivors, we are not just treating trauma β we are restoring lives. We are helping people break cycles of silence and pain that can echo through generations. We are saying to survivors everywhere: You matter. You deserve help. You deserve healing.
Please stand with me in supporting the work ChildSafe does, and has been doing for 40 years. Healing is possible, but it takes courage, compassion, and community. Together, we can make sure no survivor ever has to heal alone.
