For Coaches Working with Youth Athletes

Welcome to Stop It Now! We are a child sexual abuse prevention program, working across the U.S. to support all adults to feel confident and prepared to be responsible for protecting children from sexual harm. We work with youth-serving organizations nationally to bring knowledge, skills and resources that will help them create the safest environment possible for both the children in their programs and activities, and for the adults caring for and guiding them.

As an adult in a child's life, you have a special role to play in keeping kids safe. Sexual abuse prevention is about communication, safety planning and learning the signs of risk - so that protective factors and practices can be strengthened and confidently put into place. These resources will help you learn more about sexual abuse and what you can do to be a protective and involved adult, responsible for children's safety and well-being.
