Resolve Training Series

Creating Protective Communities Workshop

October 17th, 2024
12 pm - 2 pm

**This training is open to Principal Membership Only**

Description

So many of us want to prevent sexual violence for the youth we work with and don’t know how best to do so. Much of the time, prevention takes mo no re of an individual approach–what a child can do to deter abuse or respond to “grooming.” Research now shows that it is not only a child that is “groomed” for sexual abuse, but families, schools, and entire communities. Many professionals who work with youth have received training about how to handle a disclosure or how to recognize signs of abuse. This workshop uniquely focuses on community-level risk and protective factors and how to prevent child sexual abuse in our schools, families, and communities at large. This 90-minute to 2-hour workshop allows participants to reflect on the safety messages we receive and other factors that leave our children at risk. Participants will learn how to proactively and effectively prevent sexual violence in their communities by using a community-based approach to “grooming” and other tactics that perpetrators use, rather than an individual child approach.
