Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 251

Tonight's SPECIAL GUEST is Julie Brand - Ms Brand uses her unique perspective as both an experienced counselor and a resilient survivor of maternal incest to write and to speak about mother-daughter sexual abuse. In 2006, she launched CAPER Consulting: Child Abuse Prevention, Education and Recovery. In her book, "A Mother's Touch", and in her workshops, Julie combines research data, professional expertise and her personal experiences to enlighten audiences about the existence of mother-daughter sexual abuse. Her goals are to empower child welfare professionals—from first responders to therapists—to recognize the dynamics of maternal incest, to intervene and to help victims become strong, healthy adults. Victims of mother-daughter sexual abuse can heal and become resilient survivors.
