After caring for over 1,500 pediatric sexual assault patients, Heidi realized a disturbing trend.

To combat this public health crisis, Heidi created resources and her own consulting business to raise awareness about this issue and help other medical professionals screen for porn use during forensic exams. Despite pushback, she continues in her work to help protect children from the dangers of pornography.https://streamer1.afa.net/tracking/streamer1.afa.net/afr-aod/TheImpactSeries/TIS_20260305.mp3Tue, 31 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT00:24:21
