As of June, 2005, I am now an official ambassador for Stop It Now!, a national nonprofit organization formed in 1992, to prevent the perpetration of child sexual abuse through a public health approach emphasizing adult and community responsibility. Stop It Now! has a national helpline (1-888-PREVENT) for adults who are concerned about inappropriate sexualized behavior in themselves or people they know. For more information, visit the website at www.stopitnow.org.
