Talking about personal safety and sex creates a protective bond between parent and child, increases confidence for both, and instills knowledge that makes children and teens much less vulnerable. Building on the education provided in Stewards of Children®, Darkness to Light’s evidence-based training on preventing, recognizing, and reacting responsibly to child sexual abuse, you will learn how to talk with and listen to children about sexual abuse and personal safety. It is highly recommended that participants complete Stewards of Children® prior to taking the course.

WHAT ARE THE OUTCOMES?
During the training, you will hear compelling stories from experts and survivors about how talking to kids can help prevent sexual abuse.
You will also:
– learn why relationships and resilience are the building blocks of safety for children.
– receive examples of how to talk about personal safety with children of all ages.
– learn how to use everyday opportunities to talk with children about sexual abuse.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
– There is no need to officially register for this event.
– No childcare offered on-site.
