Steward of Children is a comprehensive sexual abuse prevention training program that educates adults to prevent and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. The Stewards of Children program is designed for organizations that serve children and adolescents, proving prevention training for staff, volunteers, parents and other interested adults. We will begin by offering this program to all interested non-profit organizations. Core features of this training are as follows:
• 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.
