New · 2025 Impact Report
Building communities that respond with support, not silence.
2025 was the year we built for the future. We developed a sex child abuse prevention program, we strengthened organizational structure, deepened evaluation architecture, and filed trademark protections for our core brand assets. We did the unglamorous work that positions an organization to grow with integrity.

A LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER
The belief we started with. The evidence we have now.
When I founded Support Over Silence, I believed that ordinary people had more power to protect children and support families than anyone was giving them credit for. I believed that if we shared tools grounded in science and delivered with warmth and respect, neighbors would lean toward people in distress. And I believed that parents and caregivers needed a new model for protecting their children from abuse, exploitation, and trafficking.
In 2025, all of these beliefs were tested. And the most striking proof came in a single number: before Support Over Silence programs, 41% of participants said they would avoid a struggling caregiver and child. At three months, that number was zero.
This year, 384 people joined a Support Over Silence program and walked out differently. More than 84% left intending to act differently the next time they saw a caregiver struggling. When we asked them three months later, every attitude we measured had moved significantly in the right direction.
We now have 77 certified trainers carrying this program into their own communities, including schools, libraries, faith communities, healthcare organizations, and beyond.
"As always, we move into 2026 powered by compassion, centered on connection, and grounded in science."
— Nancy L. Weaver, PhD, MPH · Founder & CEO

MEASURED CHANGE
What changed, and what stayed changed.
We don't just measure how participants feel walking out of the room. We follow up three months later, because lasting change is the only kind that protects kids.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
Meet Olley, protection that starts at home.
Most child sexual abuse prevention has been built for institutions. Olley puts the same rigor, and even more warmth, into the hands of parents and caregivers, where the most important conversations happen.
Be the steady one. Manage your own emotions so your child learns they can come to you with hard things.
Lead with connection. Prioritize relationship above all else, and repair when you mess up.
Listen with curiosity. Look beneath the behavior to understand what your child really needs.
Establish and enforce boundaries. Set clear limits around bodies, technology, and access to your child.
Remember you're not alone. Build a network of trusted adults so your child has many safe people to rely on.
