Child sexual abuse thrives in silence, but healing thrives in community. When survivors are seen, supported, and believed, resilience becomes possible. In this episode, Sharlee Dixon sits down with Chris Yadon, Managing Director of Saprea, a nonprofit dedicated to liberating individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts through healing and prevention. As Saprea’s first employee, Chris helped launch the organization in 2015 and now leads its mission to drive meaningful, large-scale social change around one of society’s most difficult and urgent issues. Drawing on a background in executive leadership across technology and healthcare, Chris brings both strategic clarity and deep compassion to his work. He is also a sought-after speaker on emotional healing, child sexual abuse prevention in a hypersexualized world, and the transformative power of community. Above all, Chris is a devoted husband and father of six, grounding his professional efforts in a deeply personal commitment to protecting children and supporting survivors. Together, Sharlee and Chris explore how Saprea is confronting the silent epidemic of child sexual abuse through innovative healing programs for adult survivors, practical prevention tools for parents and caregivers, and a collective call to break the silence, build resilience, and create a safer, more compassionate world for every child.
