You're listening to Latinx Therapy. The information shared in this podcast is not a substitute for seeking help from a licensed mental health professional and is not a substitute for psychological diagnoses or treatment. I'm your host, Adriana Alejandra Alejandro, licensed marriage and family therapist.

We are back with another segment, but this is one of our special segments that we haven't done in many, many months.

This segment is a break the stigma episode.

And in these episodes, we talk with amazing professionals, amazing people out in the community globally who are doing things differently, who are doing things to advocate and empower our community

with education through the use of their voice and story. So for today, I want to introduce

you to our guest. Her name is Rosalia Rivera. She is a

consent educator, abuse prevention specialist, sexual literacy advocate, speaker, change agent,

and founder of consent parenting, which we'll hear all about in a moment. She's the host of About Consent Podcast and creator of Consent Where.

Both of those are trademarked, by the way.

Rosalia teaches parents, particularly child sexual abuse survivors, how to educate their children

on body safety, boundaries, and consent so that they can empower their families to

prevent abuse and break intergenerational cycles. Rosalia is on a mission to end child sexual abuse,

dismantle shame, and help survivors heal and become thrivers. Rosalia is certified through the

Canadian Center for Child Protections,

commit to kids program, and Darkness to Light stewards of child program, as well as the

human trafficking prevention training program called On Watch by Safe House Project. Although

Rosalia was born in El Salvador, she grew up in New York, and now she

resides in Northern Canada with her parents and three young children. Welcome, Rosalia. Thank you so

much for having me. I'm excited to be here. Yes. I've known you now maybe for a couple of years,

more so in the digital realm space. Yes. Although I was also a guest in your amazing podcast.

That was probably maybe like nine months ago.

I think so, yeah.
