Building Prevention Teams to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse
This training is for professionals working with people who have problematic behaviors. Professionals who will benefit from this training include social workers, psychologists, clinical counselors, and interested paraprofessionals.
Adults are responsible for protecting children from sexual assault and incest.
Children can learn protection skills as well, and it’s important that they do. However, it is up to adults to protect children, not for children to have to protect themselves.
Feather Berkower has long worked to give adults accurate information about child sexual assault and incest so that they can prevent, recognize, and act responsibly if they witness it. This webinar interview explores Feather’s work in this area and what caregivers can do to raise children with healthy boundaries and safe bodies. She explains how people can come together as prevention teams and discusses her work in building homes and communities that are off-limits to child sexual assault.
Parents are welcome, as well as professionals!
