 In an effort to bring awareness in April, National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Family & Children’s Center has invited Mr. Dave Pelzer to South Bend to share his personal journey after abuse. Dave Pelzer is a New York Times best-selling author and inspirational speaker. At age 12, Dave was rescued from an abusive home and placed in a series of foster homes until he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force at age 18. As a child, his resilience enabled him to overcome extreme life-threatening obstacles. He is the author of eight inspirational books. Dave’s first book, A Child Called “It”, was on the New York Times Best Sellers List for over 6 years and documents Dave’s extraordinary life. Dave’s inspirational work has encouraged countless organizations and millions of individuals.

Due to the sensitive nature of this topic, this event is recommended for ages 12 and up.
