Prevention starts with connection.

Research-based, and built to teach adults how to keep kids safer from sexual abuse. Not through fear, but by building the kind of trust where kids come to you.

The reality parents face

Despite decades of research, the adults who care for children have never been equipped with a program designed specifically to help them reduce the risk of child sexual abuse. Until now.

1 in 4 girls experience
sexual abuse
1 in 20 boys experience
sexual abuse
90% of perpetrators are someone the child knows
1,325% increase in AI-related
exploitation reports
in 2024

The threats are evolving. Prevention efforts must evolve too.

A different approach to protection

Olley is the first of its kind. Designed not to scare, but to give adults something they can do on Monday. Real strategies that build trust, connection, and lasting safety.

Tools that help prevent, not just warn

For the first time, adults are being given real strategies to help prevent abuse, not just data and warnings.

Adults as frontline protectors

You already have the instinct to protect. We give you the confidence to act with clarity and compassion.

Evidence-based and strengths-focused

Grounded in research, designed for real life. A bold shift in how we approach prevention.

The Olley Way

How to show up for kids.

  1. Own your own emotions. Be the steady one. Manage your own emotions so your child learns they can come to you with hard things.

  2. Lead with connection. Prioritize relationship above all else, and repair when you mess up.

  3. Listen with curiosity. Look beneath the behavior to understand what your child really needs.

  4. Establish and enforce boundaries. Set clear limits around bodies, technology, and access to your child.

  5. Remember you're not alone. Build a network of trusted adults so your child has many safe people to rely on.

The Olley Way

All five practices on one page. Call it a framework, a set of guideposts, or just a parenting posture.

We respect your privacy. We may send you an occasional newsletter about this work, and you can unsubscribe any time.

If we're ever going to know the hard things children experience, we must learn to be the kind of adults they come to.

Who it's for

Parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and anyone who plays a role in children's lives. If you want a strengths-based approach to protection, this is for you. Join a growing community of adults ready to make a difference.
