We Need To Be Talking About This
By Dr. Bronwen Carroll
Dr. Bronwen Carroll never intended to write a book – especially not one on childhood sexual abuse. But after years of treating abused children in the emergency room and experiencing a reckoning in her own community, she realized it was time to speak out.
We Need To Be Talking About This is being written as both a powerful appeal and a practical guide for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who cares about children. Dr. Carroll believes that sexual abuse is not just a tragedy – it is a public health emergency. We Need ToBe Talking About This will break through the discomfort that too often surrounds the topic and offer a clear and compassionate guide for how to talk to kids about sex, safety, and secrets.
You’ll Learn:
• Why secrecy is the tool predators rely on – and how to teach your kids to resist it
• How to build a family culture where no topic is off-limits
• Age-appropriate strategies for talking to kids from preschool through high school
• What signs to watch for and how to respond
• Why creating confident, connected children is one of the best ways to protect them
We Need To Be Talking About This isn’t just a book – it’s a cultural call to action and a conversation that could change everything.
