Public Programs
Prevention Education & Outreach
Educating all citizens on the signs of child abuse and the actions each individual must take to help protect our children is the most logical proactive approach towards stopping child maltreatment in our community. The cycle of abuse will continue in perpetuity, unless concerned folks speak out when they think a child is being harmed.
​
“Stewards of Children” is a national protection program designed to increase knowledge, improve attitudes, and positively change child protective behaviors. This program was created as proper maltreatment identification training for staff and volunteers of schools, churches, and youth based organizations. It also helps provide assistance with implementation of comprehensive child protection policies. This 2-hour seminar is held monthly and is open to anyone in the community. This class is available in either English or Spanish.
