Child Sexual Abuse Prevention: Dominic Carter’s Mission

A Mission Born From Experience

Silence helps no one. Journalist and keynote speaker Dominic Carter speaks openly about child sexual abuse prevention because he lived the consequences of secrecy and stigma. Listeners know him from The Dominic Carter Show on 77 WABC Radio; many know him even more for the work he does off-air—educating communities on prevention, resilience, and healing.

Why Prevention Starts With Honest Conversation

Carter grew up amid instability—a mother with chronic paranoid schizophrenia, public housing, and the stigma that shadows mental illness and poverty. He also survived childhood sexual abuse. Rather than disappear into silence, he built a platform to help others recognize warning signs, support survivors, and push systems to protect children.

From Story to Strategy: Keynotes That Mobilize

Across the U.S. and Canada, Dominic keynotes for Child Advocacy Centers, Foster Parent Associations, and mental-health organizations. His approach blends lived experience with practical guidance:

• Naming the risk factors and red flags

• Building trauma-informed responses at home, school, and community programs

• Turning awareness into clear action steps—reporting, documentation, and survivor-centered support

“Resilience isn’t denial; it’s the decision to act.” — Dominic Carter

The Book: No Momma’s Boy

Featured in Oprah Winfrey’s magazine, No Momma’s Boy traces Carter’s path from trauma to journalism and advocacy. It’s more than a memoir—it’s a training companion for parents, educators, clinicians, and community leaders who want to understand the lifelong impact of childhood abuse and how to intervene sooner.

Quick Guide: 5 Actions You Can Take This Month

1. Share a prevention resource with your school or youth program.

2. Learn the reporting requirements in your state.

3. Post the hotline numbers in visible places.

4. Host a 30-minute staff or volunteer training.

5. Invite a keynote (virtual or in-person) to galvanize your community.

Keep the Momentum Going

Carter uses his daily platform on 77 WABC to elevate issues from mental health to child protection. On stage, he turns hard truths into hope—and hope into action. If your organization needs a speaker who can connect hearts to policy, this is where to start.
