Lauren's Kids
Lauren's Kids is a non-profit organization founded by Florida state senator and sex-abuse survivor Lauren Book. Founded in 2007, the organization educates adults and children about sexual abuse prevention and has programs to help survivors with their trauma. Every April, Lauren's Kids uses National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and National Child Abuse Prevention Month to hold fundraisers and programs that heighten awareness. They've held a 1500-mile "Walk in My Shoes" trip across Florida and had a "Walk in My Shoes" display at the Capital in Washington D.C. They created an EMMY-Award winning PSA with CBS Cares as well. They provide approximately 10 million educational and awareness materials statewide through direct mail each year.
They received the 2019 Change Maker Award from the Child Mind Institute.
