To help adults become educated in prevention methods, Flip the Switch, along with its partner Darkness to Light, a nonprofit working to end child sexual abuse, offers a free training program aimed at helping parents and coaches spot the signs of abuse.
“To address this terrible problem, we all need to be willing to confront it head-on,” Raisman told Sports Illustrated when discussing her new website. “Sexual abuse is something that needs to be discussed openly—especially now—given the challenges our sport is facing, and all adults should become educated as to how to prevent it. Ignoring the issue, in hopes that it goes away, is unacceptable. Athlete safety must be the highest priority.”
