This short, practical, and eye-opening program is ideal for training staff and volunteers in youth-serving organizations, as well as parents or anyone interested in stopping these awful crimes against children.
Sexual abuse has enormous costs. Individuals and organizations cannot afford to ignore it, as children and families are hurt, reputations of organizations can be destroyed, and insurance settlements are astronomical.
Last year The Children’s Advocacy Center of Portage County served 148 children. In the last 5 years alone the Center served 761 children. Nearly all of these children live in Portage County.
Please join the fight against child sexual abuse. Please consider inquiring about this insightful and effective local training.
