Prevention

Stewards of Children is a revolutionary, interactive, evidence-based child sexual abuse prevention training program developed by Darkness to Light, a national child sexual abuse prevention organization. Stewards of Children educates adults to take simple, proactice steps to protect children from sexual abuse, including how to prevent, recognize and react responsibly.

The core features of the Stewards of Children training are:

- A video integrating segments of sexual abuse survivors relating their stories of violation and healing, with segments from the author of the curriculum and from professionals who interface daily with the problem of sexual abuse.
- An interactive workbook for each participant.
- Discussion about critical issues in sexual abuse prevention and the relevance of these issues within organizations that serve children and adolescents, led by an authorized facilitator.
- Lists of community resources.

If your organization or agency (i.e. youth-serving, faith-based, school, camp, etc.) is interested in receiving the Stewards of Children training, please contact Safe Shores' training coordinator Jessica Galimore at (202) 645-3207 or stewardsofchildren@safeshores.org.
