Child welfare professionals, researchers and volunteers dedicated to child abuse prevention made up the program development team. In a partnership with Childhelp, a team of researchers at Arizona State University, under the primary authorship of Dr. Judy Krysik, developed a comprehensive, research based, culturally and developmentally appropriate child abuse prevention program called Speak Up Be Safe. With Childhelp, the Monique Burr Foundation for Children conducted a comprehensive pilot across the state of Florida.
