HEART HEALERS, Inc. is a California non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention and eradication of the sexual abuse of children. Determined to achieve this goal within our lifetime, we pursue it by several means.

Public awareness and the raising of human consciousness, as well as the human conscience, is one method of choice.

We provide entertainment venues of excellent quality that feature well-known performers, putting a positive spin on this most difficult issue while at the same time affording a platform to disseminate information with focus on the medical, legal, and academic issues involved in this epidemic of abuse that continues to prey upon the children and our future.

The funds we solicit and collect at these entertainment events are then directed and distributed to those organizations directly affecting the needs and concerns of abused children - those providing safety and shelter for abused children or actively involved in protecting their rights and interests.

We refer prosecutorial, medical, sheltering and counseling issues to the appropriate organizations and individuals who are well-equipped to provide such necessary assistance.

Our primary focus shall always be direct assistance to the children. We support and encourage the efforts of such organizations as the California Coalition and the YMCA who are disseminating coloring books and publications to children in an effort to "gently educate" and protect them. The materials provided give children the understanding of how to honor their own "personal space" while affording that same respect to others. Children are encouraged to feel safe and comfortable in reporting any form of abuse.

"Long term effects of child abuse include fear, anxiety, depression, anger, hostility, inappropriate sexual behavior, poor self esteem, tendency toward substance abuse and difficulty with close relationships." (Cite: Brown and Finkelhor, 1986)

"It is estimated that there are 60,000,000 adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse in America today." (Cite: Forward, 1993)

The current number of victims and the degree of abuse being sustained by our children as we turn into this new millenium is staggering. We must push the envelope and come out of our denial. Make no mistake. It is a war.

You can join the fight. Please use our navigation buttons (or text links below) to find out how you can join us or contribute to this ongoing struggle. Perhaps you would like to attend one of our entertainment events. The public is always welcome. We encourage your feedback. Feel free to email us or to sign our guestbook.

And thank you, so very much, for your time and concern.

Please do take just a moment to meet some of the "artist angels" who have been so very gracious to share their talent and make a difference....for the kids.
