TAALK is an acronym for Talk About Abuse to Liberate Kids. The organization has a core belief that child sexual abuse is predictable and preventable when we surround children with knowledgeable and outspoken adults, and we all play a part in the solution. TAALK provides awareness, prevention, and support programs which are available on-line to the general public at no charge.
TAALKwithGod is an extension of TAALK that focuses on the church’s role in the child sexual abuse pandemic including intercessory prayer, prevention, recognizing and reporting abuse, speaking about child sexual abuse from the pulpit, healing prayer, and offender discipleship. While this website is Christian-based, all faith organizations will find valuable information to use a guide to improving their programs.
Through Diane's consulting firm, she works primarily with schools and insurance risk pools to help them proactively develop and implement programs that will mitigate the risk of student sexual abuse and decrease district liability. Educators in California have taken Diane’s training more than 1 million times in the past 5 years, and her training is now available throughout the country and internationally.

Ten percent of students surveyed say they were abused at school. That number doesn't begin to address the children who were abused in day care centers, boys and girls clubs, faith organizations, sports programs, and other youth-serving organizations. Child molesters need access in order to abuse and what better way to gain it than to work for an organization that serves youth? As a youth-serving organization leader, staff member, or parent, this book will guide you to create an environment where child molesters virtually cannot succeed without being caught and therefore won't want to work.
