Indiana Township Association raising awareness of child sex abuse

Next week, the Indiana Township Association will kick off its five-month series of lunch and learns as part of its No More Secrets public awareness campaign to raise awareness about child sexual abuse.

The lunch and learn will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 13, in the Kirkendall Room of the Delaware Township Community Center, 9090 E. 131st St., Fishers. Tickets are free with registration on Eventbrite.

The prevention training will inform participants about statistics, prevention methods and resources regarding child sexual abuse. The ITA is excited to partner with the Girl Scouts of Central Indiana and welcomes their staff and volunteers as the first audience to participate in this adult training.

Driskell

The state of Indiana and Hamilton County are on track to exceed previous year’s reports of child sexual abuse for the fourth consecutive year.

Delaware Township Trustee Debbie Driskell said, “As a survivor of child sexual abuse, I know from first-hand experience this issue can affect anyone and transcends race, socio-economics and religion.”
