This is the healing process. We have also set up scholarships for junior classes on long island to students who will write a 2-3 page essay on abuse in society today within certain parameters. This is the education process. We held a 5 mile "run for the many" on september 7, 2013. This will help in getting the awareness out as well as helping break the silence on childhood sexual abuse. We are also produced a play called "lemon meringue" that was held in nyc with 16 performances.

The play captures the healing helping and educations process.
