Darkness to Light: Sexual Abuse Prevention Training

Posted by MeLisa Strongheart on September 6, 2012 at 8:00am

logo-all.pngJust completed this training with the Stewards of Children.  It is an adult focused child sexual abuse prevention program, empirically proven effective in prevention.   It has been shown to increase knowledge, improve attitudes and change participants child-protective behaviors.

I recommend it for all who work with children, live in a community with children, have children, or have been children.  lol. 

OK, seriously though, good info, and helpful.   We, (the staff of MIMA) do sexual abuse prevention training, and will continue to do so, and we have policies and procedures regarding the safety and prevention of abuse of kid's in our dojang, and in the community.  We will be adding this training for all the staff now as well.
