U.S. Center for SafeSport

With the Paris Games just a few short months away, Monica Rivera, our Vice President of Education, Training, & Research, and Hannah Hinton, Esq., our Vice President of Organizational Development & Compliance, took a trip to the host city. They met with representatives from the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee and toured the Palais Brongniart, where Team USA will be headquartered, and the Team USA High Performance Center, where athletes will train while competing. An athlete’s well-being is just as important as an athlete’s accommodations. By understanding the spaces and environments that athletes will occupy, the Center can better support athletes at the Games and advocate for safer sport settings. #AthleteSafety #AbusePrevention #Athlete #Sports #Paris #USCenterForSafeSport #EndAbuse

Last week, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that after several years, they are settling with sexual abuse #survivors for nearly $139 million. While the amount itself is staggering (although the total surpasses $1 billion across multiple settlements), what struck me was the statement made by Acting Associate Attorney General Benjamin Mizer, not because it is profound, but because it is obvious: "These allegations should have been taken seriously from the outset." Allegations should always be taken seriously. Accountability is part of #culture change and it’s what survivors deserve. This is what drives us every day at the U.S. Center for SafeSport. https://lnkd.in/g57BzG2F #linkedinsports #abuseprevention #prevention #athletics #athletesafety
