New book out September 30

It Takes A Village To Teach Your Children About Consent - a book for adults who care for kids

Hello lovely subscriber,

I've been offline for the last couple of months after a double whammy of a health drama and a legal drama knocked me off my stride (so dramatic!) I'll have more on both those another time, but today is all about the good news.

I have a new book coming out, which will be available at the end of September. It's called It Takes A Village To Teach Your Children About Consent and I wrote it for parents and families who need a bit of help supporting kids to understand consent education and abuse prevention. I'm so delighted this book is finally ready to publish. So many parents, teachers and families are struggling with these topics at the moment and I really hope this book will help.

You can find out more about the book on my website, including a link to the launch even in Melbourne, which I am very excited about. Kristine Ziwica (who has a long history of expertise and excellent journalism on violence prevention) is joining me to talk about consent education and abuse prevention. It will be a lively discussion and I'd love to see you there.

I'm hoping to confirm events in other cities later this month but the Melbourne one is all we have been able to nail down for now.

I'm also hoping that this month I can get back to more writing about my PhD research, FixedIt and my other usual topics.

Thanks for subscribing and I hope you enjoy reading about the book.

Best,

Jane Gilmore
