Raising Safe Kids Takes A Village with Dr. Bronwen Carroll

Content Warning: Discussions of Child Sexual Abuse This week, Terri and Dr. Dom welcome Dr.

Bronwen Carroll, a board-certified pediatric emergency medicine physician at Boston Medical Center, an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Boston University Chobanian and Avedisian School of Medicine, and author of We Need To Be Talking About This to Cultivating H.E.R. Space to discuss an uncomfortable but highly necessary conversation about our collective responsibility of keeping children safe.

Dr. Carroll shares how a deeply unsettling event at her child’s school opened a pathway for her to lead her community through a difficult time.

In that time, she realized how many parents were ill equipped to have the necessary conversations with their children and the people in their village to keep harm from their front door. Often the signs of child sexual abuse are missed because they are a series of actions that lead up to the events over time, but with the knowledge of what to look out for and the ability to trust one’s gut, we can all begin to keep an eye out for those who wish children harm.

And, we can empower them with the correct language to advocate for themselves. Tune in today for real strategies, tips, and conversation starters for kids so that you and everyone around you know that keeping the children safe, whether they are yours or not, is the top priority for a functioning, healthy, and thriving community.
