"In these materials, Joyce
Wilson shows a rare gift for capturing in clear and vivid language
the changing perspectives of children and adolescents as they develop.
As a result, there is an unusual degree of immediacy and reality which
adds greatly
to the power of the experience in deepening the participants'
understanding
of this difficult but crucial topic."

"The MESSAGE Sexual Abuse Education Program addresses the complex issue of child sexual abuse in an innovative and powerful way. It not only teaches how sexual abuse impacts child development, but also provides the opportunity to face one's own personal responses to child sexual abuse."

Worker, Snohomish School District #201, Snohomish, WA; formerly, of

"We at the Child and Family Guidance Center
have found these materials to be very helpful for training of our new
staff and students in our child abuse treatment program. Participants
in the training have consistently stated that the program prepares
them for the experience of working with molested children and that
they feel better equipped to empathize with and therapeutically manage
these children. We find that the task requires them to identify with
the feelings and thoughts of children molested at various developmental
stages and challenges them to imagine what that experience might have
been for these children. We have incorporated this experience into
our ongoing training program."
