Child Sexual Abuse and Brain Health

Child Sexual Abuse and Brain Health
Kathryn interviews legal expert Norman D. Bates, author of “Preventing Child Sexual Abuse in Youth-Serving Organizations: Guidelines for Managers and Parents”. Adults come in contact with teens through youth-serving organizations. While this is usually in the context of a positive and nurturing environment, opportunities for sexual abuse can occur. Bates emphasizes the importance of a proactive approach to ending child sexual abuse. Bates is featured in The Wall Street Journal and The NYTimes. Kathryn also interviews neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki PhD on her book “Healthy Brain, Happy Life: A Personal Program to Activate Your Brain & Do Everything Better”. Dr. Suzuki transforms the way we think about our brain, our health and our personal happiness. Her book is a blend of personal memoir and science narrative that reveals the powerful connection between exercise, learning, memory and cognition. Dr. Suzuki is featured in The Science Network, Martha Stewart Living Radio and CNN Health.
