Dear Chrissy. On behalf of the International Society for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN), I congratulate you on initiating the “My Body is My Body” program aimed at prevention of child sexual abuse. Some of my colleagues have implemented this program and found it very powerful and entertaining. This unique approach of using music and songs to convey the preventive messages has proved very effective and appreciated both by children and teachers. I am aware that your ever growing global network of volunteers and ambassadors is very enthusiastic about this program and are reaching children through the school system in all parts of the world. I wish and hope that soon it will reach a critical mass to make a significant impact at global level.

As commissioner of the Department of Human Services, I would like to thank you on behalf of the State of Tennessee and the many school children of Tennessee who have benefited from your efforts. The program is one of the largest child sexual abuse prevention programs delivered within the Tennessee public school system. Your program is entertaining, non-threatening and effective

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Chrissy Sykes for many years. The My Body Is My Body Foundation is changing the lives of children and giving them a future free from child abuse. This program is also helping teachers, social workers, and communities learn the signs of abuse. This program is also the core educational program for our nonprofit, Global Goodwill Ambassadors Foundation.

Chrissy Sykes consistently works on this program by producing it in many different languages along with doing the animations herself. When it comes to safeguarding children, it is Chrissy’s top priority, and she has been a tremendous help to our organization by helping ensure our policies are the best they can be.

This program is extremely well received by more than a million children around the world and is very much needed. Ms Sykes runs this program with extreme professionalism

Compassion International has received permission to host the My Body is My Body Curriculum on the website ForChildren.com. This is a public website that anyone can access, including the more than 7,000 churches in 25 countries who partner with Compassion to provide children with holistic development in order prepare them to be released from poverty.

The protection of children is one of Compassion’s most important priorities, including educating children to protect themselves. Compassion intends to encourage church partners to consider integrating the My Body is My Body curriculum into their work with younger children, as these courses are well thought out, engaging, informative, and available in many of the languages native to areas of the world where Compassion programming takes place.”
