We deeply appreciate the efforts of everyone who came together to make the 3rd Annual SAFE Symposium a success. This week, the SAFE Coalition, comprised of various organizations and individuals across the state of Utah, came together to stop child sexual abuse by changing Utahn’s perceptions of the issue and moving them to act. During the event, the audience was inspired by keynote speakers, including Dr. Fatima Maada, the First Lady of Sierra Leone, James Eltroy Dixon, known as The Absolut Motivator, and community activists Lacey Byrd and Caroline Ashton. There was also an opportunity for co-creation, where attendees shared their ideas to lead change. A special thank you to all the partners who helped put this event together!   A Bolder Way Forward Child Sexual Abuse Spoke PHASE Alliance Prevent Child Abuse Utah UTAH'S CHILDREN'S JUSTICE CENTER PROGRAM Utah Coalition for Protecting Childhood Utah Women & Leadership Project The Policy Project GenerationAll Voices for Utah Children Adair | Evans Attorney at Law Family Haven Loveland Living Planet Aquarium

Grounding techniques like the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise provide you with an anchor—a steady connection to the current moment. Engaging your senses can be especially helpful during times of acute distress, like panic attacks. Aim to identify five things you can see, four you can touch, three sounds, two scents, and one taste.

It all began with a promise to a friend to make a difference in the world. After overcoming Leukemia, Derek Maxfield sought a way to fulfill his commitment. Years later, during a conversation with his wife, Shelaine Maxfield, they discussed that someone should “do something” to help adult female survivors of child sexual abuse after learning the story of a loved one. In 2014, the Maxfield family established Saprea to fight child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts through healing and prevention services. Here is their story!
