WHY?

Education is key to Child Sexual Abuse prevention, yet most adults never receive training. Common barriers to lack of education include: 

  • Lack of awareness about CSA in our communities 
  • Lack of access to high-quality prevention training 
  • Lack of time for training outside of work hours 

Organizations and businesses are catalysts for change. Partner with us to break these barriers and provide education to your staff! 

The adults you employ likely consist of:

Champion the health, safety, and economic viability of our communities by providing CSA prevent training to your staff, equipping them with the education to make a difference!
