Motivation

Motivation. It's what makes you get out of bed in the morning
and get dressed and drive to work. It's what makes you work
through lunch and go home late and keep working when you get
home. Without motivation we would accomplish very little. That
being said, if we better understand what motivates us, we can
channel it to achieve even more. There are two types of
motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. An example of intrinsic
motivation is practicing a hobby in your free time to get better
at it. You are doing it for you. An example of extrinsic
motivation is cleaning your house because you have guests coming
over. You get the idea. Use intrinsic motivation to do creative
work. On the flip side, use extrinsic motivation to tackle
difficult tasks. Know how your work helps others and this will
motivate you to work hard. Finally, and this may seem
counter-intuitive, give yourself something to lose. We value
things when they belong to us. If there's a chance you are going
to lose something that is important to you, you will work even
harder to hold onto it

Child Sexual Abuse / Assault / Violence

Child Sexual Abuse / Assault / Violence




Child Molestation Research & Prevention Institute – a national science-based, 501(c)3, nonprofit organization. CMRPI conducts research to prevent child sexual abuse and provides information to prevention organizations, agencies, professionals and families to prevent abuse. The mission is to focus scientific research on the major causes of child sexual abuse, especially in areas where early intervention can save the greatest number of children and to provide scientific information that supports the prevention actions of the field, especially prevention organizations, professionals and families, Atlanta, GA and Alameda, CA.

The mission of ChildSafe is to restore dignity, trust and hope to children traumatized by sexual abuse, San Antonio, TX.



Darkness to Light – the ultimate mission of D2L, to end childhood sexual abuse, can only be accomplished by sharing the solution of prevention, awareness and education with more and more people. This, in turn, builds momentum and over time, changes the way our nation and culture cares for, protects and nurtures our children. Being an active participant in the mission to end childhood sexual abuse is one of the most rewarding things we will ever do ~ and we cannot do it without you. We believe that learning the facts about childhood sexual abuse helps prevent it. Talking about it helps prevent it. Getting involved helps prevent it. The truth is, if childhood sexual abuse can be prevented, it can be stopped. That's why D2L exists ~ to empower adults through awareness and educational programs to prevent, recognize and react responsibly to childhood sexual abuse, Charleston, SC.

JustTell.org – mission is to reach out to youth aged 8 to 17 who are being sexually abused in order to convey, in age-appropriate language, that: they are not alone, they are not to blame for the abuse and should feel not guilt or shame, and that they need to choose a trustworthy adult in their life and tell them about the sexual abuse. The secondary mission of JustTell is to education and empower all youth around the issue of childhood sexual abuse. No one has ever used kids' media and internet sites where kids gather such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace to speak to young people about this issue. Our messages reach out to molested children and teens using methods and messages they can readily access and relate to. Whether it is by tweets, blogs and bulletins, through the wallet-sized cards our ten Street Teams will hand out as Community Service Projects, or by sexually abused kids accessing our website; we are kid-friendly and as hip as the teens who are helping us. And that gives us enormous credibility with kids who are being sexually abused.

There are many misconceptions regarding this issue. The Mama Bear Effect will work diligently and endlessly to expose the reality of child sexual abuse and put an end to dangerous misconceptions. We believe that all good people have a "Mama Bear" instinct - a desire to protect innocent children from a harm greater than what they could ever imagine. A willingness to face our fears, overpower our desire to turn away from such evil, and conquer the ignorance that clouds our understanding of how child sexual abuse exists and is afflicting our nation and world. We must protect our children.  We will fight back. This is The Mama Bear Effect. 


Mothers Against Sexual Abuse – the mission is to heighten awareness of the hidden epidemic of child sexual abuse through educating parents, caregivers, professionals, and others with the intent to remove the veil of this horrific crime and expose the truth of its tragic impact on children and adult survivors.

We believe that this must be done through a determined single-issue focus, a meaningful mainstream agenda and the use of proven modern political strategies, Asheville, NC.
