Learn the Skills to Protect Children From Sexual Abuse (Trainings!)

We’re excited to announce this 3-part series in collaboration with Enough Abuse Tompkins to help families, educators, and community organizations understand how to protect children from sexual abuse.

The first event is October 27th at the Durland Alternatives Library.


enough-abuse-tompkinsChildhood sexual abuse is something people rarely talk about, which is one of the reasons it continues to prevail. Talking about it is uncomfortable and can even be upsetting to some survivors of abuse.

But if we don’t create spaces to address this issue, how can we heal our society? How can we prevent childhood sexual abuse?

That’s what the Advocacy Center is doing with their Enough Abuse Campaign. Their educators visit churches, schools, and community groups (like ours!) to provide this critical education.

Here are three opportunities to learn more about how to prevent childhood sexual abuse. These events are free and open to the public, and especially relevant to parents, educators, and anyone who works with children.

Beginning October 27th is the first event on strategies for protecting children. Then, in November educators with Advocacy Center will help us understand sexual behavior in children. What are warning signs of sexual abuse? What is normal? In December there is a film screening and discussion. See the full descriptions, mark your calendars, and share the events below.
