Prevention starts with connection.

A research-based program that teaches the adults in children's lives how to protect them from sexual abuse. Not through fear, but by building the kind of trust where kids come to you first.

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 program of its kind. Designed not to scare, but to empower adults with real strategies that build trust, connection, and lasting safety.

The tools, not just the warnings

For the first time, adults are being given real strategies to 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.

Close connection between parent and child

The Olley way

How we show up for kids.

  • Be the steady one. Manage your own emotions so your child learns they can come to you with hard things.
  • Lead with connection. Prioritize relationship above all else, and repair when you mess up.
  • Listen with curiosity. Look beneath the behavior to understand what your child really needs.
  • Establish and enforce boundaries. Set clear limits around bodies, technology, and access to your child.
  • Remember you're not alone. Build a network of trusted adults so your child has many safe people to rely on.

"If we're ever going to know about the hard things children are experiencing, we must learn to be the kind of adults
they come to first."

— Nancy L. Weaver, PhD, MPH, Founder of Olley
