Conversations that Protect Students and Empower Survivors

 

When the trust between students and schools is broken, the consequences last a lifetime.

Crossing the Line, the official podcast of the National Center to Stop Educator Sexual Misconduct (NCSESAME), brings together survivors, experts, educators, journalists, and advocates to expose how educator sexual misconduct happens — and how we can stop it.

​

Hosted by Joelle Casteix, each episode goes beyond headlines to reveal the systems, stories, and solutions that create real change in education.

​

Listen, Learn, and Act

​

Every conversation offers a new perspective:

​

• Survivor Voices — powerful stories of resilience, justice, and hope.

• Expert Insight — prevention strategies, research, and policy reform.

• System Accountability — what schools, lawmakers, and communities can do to stop misconduct before it starts.

• ​

Whether you’re a parent, educator, policymaker, or survivor, Crossing the Line helps you understand the warning signs, the data, and the solutions — all in plain, human language.​​​​​
