Many others are participating online.<\/p>\n<p>The forum focuses on issues related to the rural response, the justice system response and child sexual abuse in ethno-cultural communities. Representatives from Alberta\u2019s child advocacy centres are also presenting on their collaborative model that helps victims get the services they need.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChild sexual abuse continues to be a difficult topic to talk about and often goes underreported. It\u2019s imperative we start creating a dialogue and change the culture of fear and shame that can prevent victims from seeking help.
