Erin is the author of Stolen Innocence and Living for Today. A leading participant in Take Back the Night, her goal is to raise awareness of abuse in order to end the stigma of silence. Since 2004, she has been speaking at national conferences, community events, children’s advocacy centers, colleges, and high schools. Erin has been instrumental in getting Erin’s Law passed, which requires school boards to adopt age appropriate curriculum on sexual abuse education for students pre-k through 5th grade. Erin efforts have not gone unnoticed. She’s been featured in a variety of media, including Time Magazine, the Chicago Tribune and on Oprah. Visit Erin’s website at www.erinmerryn.net.
