A little more about our guests:
Dr. Douglas Kennedy has been an educator, dedicated volunteer, consultant and focused upon the safety of youth for over three decades. Most recently he was chosen by the US Department of Justice to serve on the Tort Claimants Committee in the Boy Scouts of America’s bankruptcy proceedings and served as its Co-Chair for over three years. A Survivor of sexual abuse by the Director of the scout camp where he worked, Dr. Kennedy has been instrumental in communicating with Survivors, advocating for their interests, and has testified in bankruptcy court. He also played a significant role in negotiating an agreement for the improvement of Scouting policies related to youth protection.
Tom Krumins is a passionate Executive Director leading the movement for childhood sexual violence Prevention, Healing, and Justice at Keep Kids Safe. https://www.keepkidssafe.us
He is committed to advancing trauma-informed solutions through policy, education, and community mobilization. As a Survivor of childhood sexual violence within the Boy Scouts, Tom is uniquely positioned to understand the needs of Survivors and the importance of advocacy at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels. He uses his deep knowledge of the trauma Survivors face and the institutional barriers they encounter to educate, inform, and create change. Tom has shared his story and insights openly with national media outlets, international training programs, documentarians, and a newsletter series. He is currently spearheading legislative efforts to reform civil statutes of limitations for child sexual abuse in his home state of South Carolina.
