The Roots of Sexual Violence in Utah: What Every Utahn Should Know

Panel Discussion/Presentation

As Utahns, we pride ourselves on strong families, close‑knit communities, and deep moral commitment — yet our state continues to report higher‑than‑national‑average rates of rape, child sexual abuse, and other forms of gender‑based harm. A recently released report written by Dr. Susan R. Madsen notes, “sexual violence in Utah is not an anomaly… it is a patterned, predictable outcome of cultural norms, social systems, and power structures that shape how people understand gender, authority, and worth.” This webinar brings that reality into the light. Dr. Susan R. Madsen will be joined by Dr. Julie Valentine, one of Utah’s leading researchers on sexual assault and forensic nursing, as well as Liliana Olvera‑Arbon, the executive director of the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault. In addition, executive directors from direct serve providers throughout the state will also be invited to share their insights about the report and make recommendations on next steps.

Breaking the Cycle: ACEs, Trauma, and Utah’s Path to Healthier Children

Panel Discussion/Presentation

A research‑based conversation with Utah leaders/experts on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), the impact of trauma, and new initiatives. Utah is taking a historic step to confront childhood trauma and its lifelong impact. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are linked to 9 of the 10 leading causes of death in the U.S., and ACE data show that 65.7% of Utah adults have experienced at least one ACE, while 1 in 4 have experienced three or more. These early adversities shape mental health, physical health, educational outcomes, and long‑term economic stability. Childhood trauma — particularly sexual abuse — is far more common than many realize and often goes unnoticed or unaddressed. We’ll be joined by three leading experts — Dr. R. Neal Davis, Holly Willard, and Dr. Brooks Keeshin — who will explore the science, clinical realities, and community impact of ACEs and childhood trauma. After their discussion, Sage Hancock, Executive Director of GenerationAll, will close the webinar by introducing Utah’s Healing Generations initiative, the first statewide ACE screening pilot of its kind.

Tradwives, Secret Lives, and Housewives: How Utah’s Real Cultural Norms Shape Women’s Lives

Panel Discussion/Presentation

A research‑based conversation on how Utah’s cultural norms shape women’s lives, body image, and power—and how we can create change. Utah women and girls are exposed to the same media, influencers, and cultural messages as women across the nation — yet the pressures they experience around beauty, body image, modesty, marriage, and gender expectations often feel uniquely intense. Why? What is it about Utah’s cultural, social, and religious environment that magnifies these dynamics? And how do these norms shape women’s lives, opportunities, relationships, and sense of self?
