Location: Mission Kids

Plymouth Meeting, PA
Topic: Darkness to Light: Stewards of Children
This program teaches adults how to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. We know that when adults are trained, they take the steps to protect children from sexual abuse. Participants will learn from survivors who lived through child sexual abuse, experienced its immediate and long-term effects, and ultimately were able to find healing. Participants will also learn from experts who work with children and families and confront abuse on a daily basis, and will find concrete steps that they can take to protect the children in their lives.
