The annual Reflections and Resilience luncheon on October 19th welcomes a keynote speaker who was crucial in the development of a child sexual abuse prevention law.

Family Services’ Executive Director John Pfleiderer says Erin Merryn has been trying to encourage states to require that school districts have age appropriate education about personal body integrity and resources for children.

Pfleiderer says he hopes people attending are able to realize that while it’s a horrible issue, there are things they can do to help limit and reduce the number of children that suffer.

The luncheon takes place October 19th at Glen Erin Gold Club in Janesville and tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the Family Services website.
