Half-Day Course

VIEW AGENDA HERE

This course is designed for faith and child protection leaders who have completed Zero Abuse Project’s two day Keeping Faith course. Attendees receive instruction on preventing abuse in vulnerable populations including children with disabilities and sexual and gender minority youth. There is also an in-depth workshop on the sexual behaviors of youth and a detailed exploration of the cognitive distortions of adult sex offenders. Workshop includes discussion and interaction with case scenarios to assist the attendees in applying the information received to their respective professions.

Why is this training important for every faith community?

• 93% of sex offenders describe themselves as being 'religious'

• 20% of 2864 church leaders knew of at least one convicted sex offender who was attending or was a member of their church (Christianity Today 2010)
• Child abuse Survivor Quote: "I went online to every faith community in my area trying to find a place in which I felt safe to worship. None of them gave me any information about safety policies in their community so I just gave up trying."
