“Females ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.”
ENOUGH ABUSE® has a 6-decade history of effectively advocating for and improving the lives of our most vulnerable children. Since 2000 we have worked tirelessly to prevent the sexual abuse and exploitation of children and youth through evidence-based trainings, public education campaigns, and policy work with schools, youth organizations, communities and legislatures. We are nationally recognized changemakers for children and we welcome you to join us!
“Without the engagement of parents and school and youth organization leaders, estimates are that 1 in 10 children could be victims of child sexual abuse before their 18th birthday.”
“The power of ”To Kill a Wolf” is its portrayal of the stark contrast between an uncle who violated his role as a trusted caregiver to sexually exploit his vulnerable niece, and a stranger who without obligation stood solidly and selflessly in support of a child who needed protection. Male and female moviegoers alike will be moved by the decency and simple morality of always choosing to do the right thing when children and their safety and wellbeing are in the balance.”
Saprea empowers healing for individuals who were sexually abused as children or adolescents through retreats, support groups, and online resources. We educate and engage parents and caregivers to protect children and adolescents from sexual abuse through community and online resources. We drive awareness to motivate individuals and our partners to take action against child sexual abuse.
Heal the One. Protect the Many.
YouthLine is a peer-to-peer help, support, and crisis line serving youth ages 10-24 across the United States since 2000. YouthLine is staffed by youth volunteers and young adult interns who undergo extensive training and are supervised by highly skilled clinicians. YouthLine is confidential to a point: while we will never share conversations had on the lines, we are mandatory reporters. If a young person is experiencing or has experienced abuse, neglect, or assault, or if there are immediate safety concerns, YouthLine may contact other agencies to ensure the best support and safety for the young person in crisis.
“To Kill a Wolf covers multiple themes about which youth reach out to YouthLine every day. We are excited to support this film to start conversations about important topics and to ensure that youth, and everyone, have access to resources when they need them. No one should struggle alone.”

No problem is too big or too small.

"Millions of young people in the U.S. find themselves homeless each year and it is imperative that they know there are organizations, like Covenant House, that will meet them where they are on their journey, believe them, and help them heal. Young people need more than just a safe place to sleep. They need caring adults in their lives who they can trust. For any young person who sees this movie and identifies with Dani or knows someone who does, reach out to Covenant House or another trusted agency near you."
