S.E.S.A.M.E. and the Media

It is our goal to raise public awareness of the dynamics and damage of educator sexual abuse. When inquiries about possible interviews with victims of particular teacher/offender types (coaches, younger grades, etc.) are made to us, SESAME passes the survivor the media contact information and is careful to reiterate that it is a personal choice to speak publicly. Telling the story of abuse is difficult and can be traumatic, and we are dedicated to protecting victims throughout the process.

For all media requests, please contact Nell Callahan at (202) 464-6913 or .
